    I have xp running on an old machine, downloaded fedora, now all i need to know is how to identify all the drivers necessary and download their linux counterparts, any ideas suggestions? or does it need to be done this way?

    Like Windows, most Linux distros (including Fedora) have a pretty comprehensive driver database included on the disks, which should find a driver for pretty much anything you have.

    Do you have any hardware that you're particularily worried about not working?

    no not really, i presume d nvidia card will be included in that yeah? there's nothing i was woried about, its a standard, old, unused pc, i was hopin to install suse, its a 1 gig ram, 1.7 amd athlon xp2000, will this sufficiently run the latest SUSE distro with the XGL desktop do u think?

    excellent, what a fast reply btw, thanx!!

    This nVidia driver guide relates to Core 5, but should work for Core 6 as well if there isn't a driver available on the disk.
