i was learning UNIX. And nowadays unix support comes on linux only.So i installed linux FC4.To my surprise it now supports my sound card.Earlier i treid mandrake,PCQlinux 2004,knoppix none of which supported my sound card.But now my pc has come alive with multimedia and i m thinking to switch over to linux.

Opensource is a huge community.I am glad to see you are starting to like it.
