Hello all,

I'm a COMPLETE newbie to *unix systems, but me being a programmer, I figured I better learn something other than Microcult Winblows. So I downloaded RH9, and installedit.

Computer Specs:
Compaq S4500NX (A.K.A. Comcrap)
nForce 2 (chipset)
AMD 3000+ (Only good thing on the motherboard)
1 gig PC2700 DDR (woot)
nVidia GeForce 4 IGP (integrated)
2x 120gb HD's (Maxtor)

First problem,
I was unable to get the integrated Ethernet card to work.

First solution, buy new NIC card. (worked)

Second problem,
I was unable to get the sound to work.

Second solution, buy new sound card.
I bought an Audigy 2 NX (USB) and I cannot find drivers for RH9. Any suggestions? Creative labs does not have drivers for linux systems... So here I am.

Please keep in mind, I'm a newbie to Linux.

Gosh, this is a tough one for me.. Soundblaster usually works real well with Linux, but you'll have to tell me more about the usb part. What does that mean exactly?

Hi,
I bought one, too. It's not really working yet.
I am collecting information to get it working on my homepage, http://nix.bockb.de
Please watch out for more information there or tell me if you found something usefull that's not on the page yet.

hey im a total noob as well after 12 distros finally got redhat to work

i have an audigy but at first it didnt play

i had to work through sndconfig in the shell

it blows that creative doesnt have linux drivers

maybe its also the fact that its a usb that might be the main issue
