[Lonnie Cumberland]

Thanks for all of the great responses to my post and it appears that the 
over driving belief is that I should NEVER buy an ATI GFX card for my 
Linux box so I can go with that.

Well, if that is the general consensus on ATI cards then what kind of 
cards do all of you recommend for great graphic on Linux?

Thanks,
Lonnie
