Would Debian work if I could get it installed and then obtain the

Mandrake and RedHat.  They also give instructions for what to do for 
"other distributions", mainly involving manual edit of config files.

Kind regards,

I have not tried the nForce drivers under Debian, but I know the GFX drivers work 
fine, and they use the same installer type.  I have also helped someone install the 
nForce drivers for an Ubuntu setup (which, for all intents and purposes, is Debian 
in a colourful wrapper) and that worked nicely.  I wouldn't have thought you'd have 
problems with it.

The only "manual editing of config files" that I recall was for the GFX installation 
- making sure 'LOAD "GLX"' and 'DRIVER "nvidia"' were in the Xconfig file.

Grant.
