I finally caved in because all the praises from my friends and decided to try it out with Knoppix Live CD (damn peer pressure ). It boots smoothly and seems to work pretty well. Seemingly, the only problem is that I cant access the internet. My card is undetected and I cant seem to find the right module in the list. Can someone help me? Probably would need help configuring PPOE too, me thinks. Im using MSN Broadband, but thats an issue I will deal with later .

Im using the EPoX 8RDA+ with Realtek RTL8201BL 10/100MB LAN.
