I have a second, older computer. I am planning to work/reformat it soon, as soon as i can get another moniter. How do i install drivers with a new OS?? How do i make my cd drive( read-slowx), video card (nvidia riva 8meg) etc work??? *insert clueless smiley here*

Well, i suppose i did ask, didnt i?



Seriously though, i have been tempted to try out Linux, but, what about support for hardware and so on, I mean can i still play games on it? Or is it only good for staging servers and hacking...

What im trying to say is, what the hell would i use it for?
