What kind of hardware are you using?
BTW, I just purchased (well my school purchsed for my students at my behest) a whole new lab of Dell Optiplex GX270s, so I guess its worth the purchase!

Is Buying a whole New PC worth Installing Linux?
There are nNO drivers for any of my hardware, Errr I take that back
My Printer and Monitor work JUST FINE.
I thought in Linux you could use ANY computer! but i Thought Wrong.
I guess No One uses the same Stuff I have.. so I guess I'm kinda stuick with Windows.

ATI All In Wonder 7500, (NO DRIVERS)
Creative Labs Live! (NO DRIVERS)
Logitech USB mouse (shows up as PS/2)
HSP 56k Micromodem (FOUND DRIVERS, i think it only works with Mandrake)
and some other odds and ends i threw together
Well for ATI All In Wonder 7500, is that a video card? If so, there must be some cheat you could use. I recently got a lab of Dell Optiplex GX270s with onboard intel video and audio chips. What a hassle! I have to boot with vga=normal screen=1024x768 xvrefresh=60 just to get ok video without tons of boot errors. BTW, alsa didn't help, so no sound yet....
For Creative Labs Live didi you try alsa?
I had some USB mice installed last year without a hitch. They were recognized right away. I had a problem with them in MORPHIX, but there was a cheat for that too.
As for a modem, you really have to get an ethernet card and cable modem - you don't know what you're missing! Works like a charm.
Good Luck,
I tried ALSA, I want the Card to work like its supposed to work
I bought 4 speakers, I expect sound From all 4 Speakers!
and as for ATI all in wonder -- I have to use VESA! or else iKnoppix will freeze! that means i can't play QuakeIII, or any games that require 3d Accelration. i thought i could just use Linux in perfect harmony!
as for a modem -- u need CABLE internet -- Its Not Gonna happeen - Don't have $60/month for internet!
OK, on the usb mouse I used in MORPHIX:
morphix forceusb=yes
is there such a cheat for KNOPPIX? Try it, you might like it!
Cable costs $60/mo? Who you paying off, the mafia? I get cable internet for $29/mo in addition to my cable tv. In fact, I think the promo now is the cable modem is free (if you install it yourself) and the service is $19/mo for the first 3 months then it goes to $29/mo.
Good Luck,
for me cable is even cheaper in the netherlands they are advertising ADSL and Cable for as low as E15,-!!!
And 'bout the hardware, I guess you're just unlucky. MOST hardware works with linux, esp. the older hw. But for the newest on-the-edge hardware, drivers aren't written yet. You should at least send an email to Creative for the drivers, THEY should supply drivers for linux, as they do for winblow$... the same goes for ATI, etc etc! But I guess that wont really help
You'll have to wait until someone writes the needed drivers, write them yourself, or get the hardware's suplying company write them.
I just went to ATI's web site.. They have Drivers for 8500 on up... not the 7500. and im all new to Linux, do I'd do my self a favor and download Knoppix, and and give a whirl and Ive had more headaches with Linux than windows, I haven't had a Problem with Windows at all.. But i did Find a DRiver for ATI All In wonder, but's an RPM and its for Mandrake. so I guess I have to go to Mandrake.
I'm sorry I cant help you, maybe others can - I dont know much 'bout drivers etc, and it looks like others dont know it either cuz they dont reply
Did you try the lastest release (20030905)? It cured my sound problems!
