"All Linux distributions will support the same hardware. Every Linux distribution is based off of the Linux kernel from kernel.org."
That made my linux quest of confusion quite a bit easier. I have a ton of questions about that, but ill save it for later or start a new thread. But for starters, how do i find out what kernal and Xorg a particular distro version is using? I cant seem to find that info...I'm looking for the info on Ubuntu and SUSE
And on top of it all...the kernal i understand....but what Xorg is...i cant figure it out. I can see its related to the "x windows system" , but i dont understand the relationship between ATI grapchis and Xorg 7.0 is? I would think that would be kernal related.
....considering its hardware.
Bah, gotta get back to my slave laber job..ill be back.
Thanks Gogul and Electro for the provided info up to this point.
Ill have to take a better look at that distrowatch.com
