If you were to want a user machine, I would suggest Slackware Linux over FreeBSD. --- Kent Stewart <kstewart@urx.com> wrote: > > > > Eric De La Cruz Lugo wrote: > > > > Greetings. > > > > This question is for YOU who may know about this. > > > > Do you have experience with AGP Video Cards > (Generic) RIVA TNT2 16 > > MB? > > > > how they perform under Xfree86 3.3.6 or 4.0.2 ?, > am planning to buy > > one for my 4.2 Box > > > > there are some extra steps that I should take to > make this card run > > fine on it? > > hope someone can enlight me with info or links > about this. > > > > another question... there is a X-server for this > kind of cards? > > I have two of the 32MB cards in FreeBSD 4.2-stable > systems.
