Hi,

Can anyone recommend the easiest Linux distro to install on a PC built
around the VIA EPIA MII 1200 MoBo (also using: Pioneer 107D DVD-RW, 512 DDR
RAM, 80 Gig HD). I've toyed a little with Linux in the past but I'm a bit
concerned about being able to get all the correct drivers installed &
working OK, if anyone can give me some advice I'd really appreciate it.

Jase.

Depending on what you want to use it for, take a look at *freepia*.
(www.freepia.org)
A set-top box for movies and music for the Epia boards - all in one.

Other than that, for a real distro I of course recommend Gentoo.

The one real OS ;-)
