The Creative team seems to have released some sort of drivers for the
TNT2. You could try the gaming newsgroups for more news of the same.
also see http://www.lokigames.com.development for new info and
drivers.

Upgrading is best left aside with most Unices, except Debian which
has a nice tool called apt. However, you can do things with the least
hassle on a mandrake system if you've taken some precautions,like
1. Make multiple partitions..
My setup is
/boot - 10 megs
/ - 300 megs
swap - total 160 megs
/var - 200 megs
/home - 800 megs
/usr - all the rest, in my case 2.5 GB
With a setup like this, you can save all the data in your home
directory and the configuration files in /etc. Then doing a fresh
install in the text mode is both fast and easy. Upgrading takes way
too much time and I had a bad experience with upgrading Redhat where
the compilers broke after the upgrade. Si I would'nt recommed it
