That's a handy list and I have seen it before but the guy has got it wrong here.

# Radeon X1900 XTX
# GF 7900 GTX

The X1900XTX is slightly faster than the 7900GTX.

This thread was showing 13 replies so had to make it 14 as 13 is just unlucky. \:\)

Here's how to get a 3D desktop running in Ubuntu Dapper on Nvidia cards for those interested.

Here's another free firewall. You get full version for 30days then it downgrades to free version if you don't buy it.

This one is more than just a firewall, it's more like a net nanny with firewall.

This one is free but can be a bit daunting to set up.
