Radeon support is IMO horrible in linux, and i dont see it getting any better. I would go with an nvidia ... probably a GF4 ti4200 ... you can get one for like 120 dollars on pricewatch. So they arent much more than radeons. And from what i hear the nvidia drivers work very well. Im getting one of these puppy's as soon as i got some money.
