Meanwhile, I walked into a computer shop recently (near Hoyts - Off Gasson St) and asked for "a cheap network card that works with linux please". The guy behind the counter grabbed a box off the shelf behind him, read the system requirements and handed it over - $25. Sure enough, on the back it had a long list of supported OSes, including linux.
There was even a little Tux the Penguin logo on the box somewhere. This I like to see. Yuri
