Hi there, thanks for your offer!
The mandrake 10 is the lastest linux OS? So I just download it and install?
Then will need some help from you with my TV card. As for the sound card, I happen to found this website and wonder if its useful.

And I am really a newbie in linux and know nothing much so I hope will be able to get some guidiance... Thanks.
