[SATLUG] Getting frustrated with my new machine

[REYNOLDS, JEREMY (SBCSI)]

I took some of the advice from here last night and was able to get
mandriva to work after installing the latest nvidia drivers and changing
the video driver to "nvidia" in the xorg.conf file along with some other
minor changes.  During this process I realized that the version of
mandriva that I have is not 64 bit :-(

I'm thinking that I might actually go with SUSE since I know that the
disc I have is a 64 bit version and I used to run SUSE and liked it very
much for my needs.  For some reason I don't remember seeing a 64 bit
version of mandriva.  Now that I know how to change the runlevels and
how to update the drivers, it should be fairly easy to do.

Cheers,

JR
