Long overdue upgrade questions
Hey, all -
I'm a *long* time user (3 1/2 years, now) of Sage on a Windows XP platform (Still using Sage v 1.4 - I don't mess with a stable system). However, I find that 2 1/2 years into my most recent rebuild, my system is becoming more and more unstable, so I'm considering upgrading to the Linux OEM version, if only to give these nice boys some more money. I've been running Ubuntu 7.04 on my desktop for a few months, so I'm far less nervous about trying Linux on my Magical Sage TV Box-O-Wonders. That said, I have a few questions that I hope someone can answer so I can make an informed decision: 1) Does the Linux version (The full Gentoo distro version) include drivers for the USB-UIRT? If not, are they available (I've looked recently at Jon's Web site and have seen nothing about Linux drivers)? 2) Does the Linux version of Sage include built-in support for USB-UIRT the same way the Windows version does? 3) How is the Linux version of Sage w/ Gentoo with ATI video cards? Should I consider switching to an NVidia card for the easily-available Linux drivers? 4) I'm currently using a Linksys USB wired ethernet network adapter on my Windows Sage setup. Can anyone address if the Linux / Gentoo version has drivers for similar hardware? 5) Is 256 meg of memory *really* sufficient for running this version of Sage? Sorry if these are newbie questions, but I have been drinking. Thanks in advance, Comedian999 |
