I wanted to give a common place on the site other than the forums for Linux information. I'll add more as I find it and please send in whatever links to sites with good info that I dont have listed. This is going to be a "work in progress" page. Hope you find it useful.
The picture says it all. I didn't use it for my first install, but I did read it over and Rover of LWD explained allot of things that I had just guessed at. Highly recommend it for "greenies" like me.
Once again Rover of LWD came through with an easy to follow guide to install your Nvidia drivers. Way easier than the instructions listed at the Nvidia site. Again, I highly recommend it. If I could do it, so can you.
For those of you with a stronger grasp of Linux you can try out these instructions from the Nvidia site, or you can just go there to get drivers for other Distros of Linux.
While asking lots of questions around different forums, Speed King came
to the rescue with allot of great info on getting the DMA ATA66/100 performance
issue resolved. Not only do I now have an increasing note collection of
great tips and key commands to make them work, I've got another great
place to get the info. There is some Linux stuff mixed in with his articles
page, but he has a dedicated Linux page. Here are the topics from
his Linux page. I recommend reading several of these. Oh, and by the way
this guy is only 17 years old! Damn good job there, Speed King.

Looks like SoundBlaster is jumping on the Linux bandwagon as well. I have not used these drivers as LM8 seems to recognize my SBLive just fine. Although I could be wrong, since it took some tweaking to get the maximum out of my ATA100 hdd.
There are a ton of web-sites for Linux but these are pretty much the main hub I believe. All distros of Linux seem to have either the KDE or the Gnome desktop enviroment.
Buckshot from the forums sent me this site. It Just about covers everything.
Another one from Buckshot. He is batting a thousand with finding stuff
I couldn't. This site is dedicated to helping you run Windows apps under
Linux using a program called Wine. Havent tried this yet either, but it
looks tempting. Damn, my "to do" list is expanding to fast!
Here is a application that most of us can't live without. The ability
to monitor the cpu temp and the motherboards voltages. I haven't done
this but definetly want to try to install it. Especially with Genome@Home
running on my Linux Boxen!
To finish it off for now, Games. What computer monkey doesn't think about
games once in awhile? Hell, I never have time to just sit on my machine
and I bought a few Linux games to see how they would look.

Boutique seems to have the best prices right now at $9.99 a game.
LokiGames seems expensive and
I really didn't browse through TuxGames.
