Newbie problems after first linux install ever...
I installed Red Hat Linux 7.3, and this is what I noticed immediately after installing:
1) Unable to add ethernet device in network configuration (ethernet is not an extension card, it's build into my motherboard)
2) No sound support (Also, no extension card)
3) Games like TuxRacer go like a slug
I looked on the ATI website for xFree86 drivers with 3d acceleration, and it sent me to http://dri.sourceforge.net/
