It looks like I have a few choices.
1. Get the Geforce2 GTS card, upgrade XFree86 to 4.0.1. Question here is
do I just need the XFree86 upgrades or are there other rpms that I must
upgrade also? If so which ones? (There are nvidia drivers for 6.2)
2. Get the card, and upgrade to RH7.0 (I would get it thru CheapBytes
since 7.1 will come out the day I order it :-) )
3. Download Wolferine iso and burn a cd and install the RH beta of 7.1. I
have never done this so I am not sure what this entails. I will have to
try this soon.
4. Go the easy route and search for some other card. If so what is a good
one?
Any recommendations??
Thanks,
Avram

You know you're getting old when you talk about what
you've done, rather than what you're going to do.
