advice please...................

[Ross <nospam [at] virgin.net>]

I've been using 'LINUX' for a couple of months now (rh5.2 rh6.0) and am
convinced it has the potential to replace windows. because of this, i intend
to take the plunge and spend some time and money on a quality 'LINUX' distro
and a bit of hardware so i can get rid of windows forever.

the two things i need clarifying are:-

1)modems - am i correct in assuming that it 'should' be an ISA modem. i am
aware of the 'winmodem' limitation (yes! i ment to say 'limitation' guys). i
don't have any faith in the sales staff at the local shops! if anyone can
recommend a 'cheap' one, I'd appreciate it.

2)distro - i know quite a few of you are 'suse' fans but, is this the best
option for detecting all my hardware. (I've had everything working under rh6
but the configuration process leaves a lot to be desired.e.g. sound!)

your advice would be very welcome....
