I have the nforce 1, and its not particularly tricky on linux. The
graphics chip boots RH7.2+, I believe. If you want to use the onboard
pci devices, I would suggest the .src.rpm. rpm -ivh *.src.rpm, then go
into the directory it dumps it to. I think that's
/usr/src/RedHat/SOURCES. Go into the Nvidia directory in there, and
read the file in there called something like README. It says something
like to do a ./configure then a gmake; gmake install. You'll need to
redo this after every kernel upgrade.

Both nVidia's nForce2 and VIA's KM266 provide excellent platforms for
use as business Linux desktops--they are very powerful, flexible,
stable and "cheap" (especially the KM266 based systems). The nForce2
also has a duel-monitor option, which can be very neat for certain
types of applications (e.g., CPAs, financial planners, estate planning
lawyers).
Both systems, as far as I know, still require some tweaking.
RH9/MDK9.x won't even install on KM266. Some Debian based systems
(e.g., Libranet) will install on KM266, but it installs the generic
VESA driver, and not the more powerful Savage driver.
nVidia's instructions on installing nForce driver are so full of
errors, it took me a while to figure out what's going on (particularly
in trying to install the NIC driver).
Would appreciate if someone would also share their experience.
