well i want to build a low budget linux box
these are the parts that i found but i dont't know which of them are better for running linux.

-Processor:

AMD Sempron 2800 socket 754

-MOBO :
------------
well there is two choices
A-abit NV8
B-gigabyte K8U

RAM :
---------
Kingstone 512 DDR

-i don't know which graphic cards support linux,
so what do you think guys???

Officially, both Nvidia and ATI offer drivers for linux, but Nvidia has a better history with Linux (and I think performance)...I would choose one of them

CPU is great...memory fine.
