I have SuSE 9.1 pro working a treat only problem was the modem driver which cost me £15 .... they say for developmental costs. You could try Linmodems.com they have a shackled version 18kbps for free compatability test. Ati drivers are at beta, but mines a ati9200 and I play unreal tourny just fine. Maya is a little fussy but works well after some twitching. Try a live cd first if you have broadband try knoppix, which is gentoo based, but still good. Best of luck unshackling your self from M$. pitty sony don't make a unix based system?
