Hello Dave,

	1) Who supplies LINUX on CD-ROM? Here in Germany I go into our local
	   book-store and have a choice between three or four suppliers and
	   different Linux-versions.

	   Look at comp.os.linux announce, there were some announces about
	   the new SLS Version 1.05 on CD-ROM.

	2) Linux-Hardware compatibilty:

		- look at the News: comp.answers, there will be posted
		  a lot of LINUX reated FAQ4s, also a HARDWARE COMPATIBILTY
		  FAQ.

		  Graphics boards, which are supported (as I remember):

			- et3000, et4000
			- S3
			- X8514A
			- CIRRUS
			- MACH8, MACH32, eg ATI ULTRA PLUS my own board
				         runs in 1280x1024x256 resolution
			- and much others.
				

Best Regards
