When deciding between the two, I considered a single factor. That is, my personal
interest with regards to the support on my system. Actually, I got troubled 3 years
ago on my first time to install Linux that has no support for a video card that has a
16MB of SGRAM. After writting to the chip manufacturer (NVidia), I was astonished to
the full support they gave to Linux and extended all the capability of their drivers
to the full extent of any card manufacturers using their NVidia Chips. By now NVidia
showcases drivers for Linux with support on their video capturing.
Still there is this Window driver. After downloading the drivers Windows 2000
Advanced Server dont have the support for the capturing capability of my card. And
the lower family of this heck of OS do support that with matching headache. The
inherent blue screen of death that has been the signature of this disgusting OSes.
Thank God that Linus Trovalds was born in this earth and gave him a warm heart. With
this wonderful operating system he created and shared to the world, it is becoming a
better place to live.
