I have a 120GB HD servicing 3 operating systems (XP, SUSE Linux, and FreeBSD, 5.4), an ASUS P4P800-VM motherboard with 512 MB RAM and a 2.8GHz Intel CPU. The motherboard also has an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2 that provides 3D/2D graphics. So far, most, if not all, of the cards recommended in the bktr(4) man page point to Windows as the "required" OS. Is there a card more, or less, native to, or that was designed for use in UNIX? FM reception not absolutely necessary. I'm not a member of this particular mailing list. Please cc me with your response. thnx, Bob Perry
