Re: Ubuntu

Blimey, finally got it to work with the 3d drivers... thanks to this post on the Ubuntu forum - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557

Word of warning... don't forget to backup the xorg,conf file before you start editing it! It makes life a helluva lot easier if you screw it up (like I did the 1st time).

You might like to try Fedora (from Red Hat) or Suse instead -- from what I've read, they're reckoned to be the two best 64-bit distros.
I've got no idea about 64-bit Linux, as I'm still on 32-bit, so I'd trust Tristan on this one
