It is a Gericom 1st Supersonic PCI E

I am using a router/hub to access the Internet - so I don't use the
modem - just a normal network connection
I downloaded the .iso of the live cd and I'll burn it asap and try - the
video could be aproblem as it has a particular resolution ... I hope
that it will work - it doesn't matter if I need time to configure
smaller particulars step by step - the important thing is that I can
work with OmegaT (Java-based CAT-Tool), OOo, Internet browser and E-mail.
Of course I need to find some kind of accounting software ... but as
much as I read about Ubuntu it could be my chance to leave Win XP (and I
have been waiting for this quite a long time).
Ciao, Sabine
