Hi there yourself. Now, with my Audigy, I think RH8 used it immediately. Actually, I am fairly sure of it but it's been a while since I tried using it on this system. Currently, I am running Gentoo 1.4 on this box (with an Audigy Platinum) and there were some excellent instructions on the Gentoo site on how to setup support for it. As for Debian, there was another set of really good instructions for getting it running as well, but Gentoo was easier since they have a set of drivers already made, all you need to do is make sure that sound is enabled in the kernel (which it is by default). Next, I think that Xandros and Libranet (both based off of Debian) either have support for it directly or it's easily enabled, while Knoppix (another Debian-based distro) might as well.
OP
Thanks for the info clutch, i will try Gentoo and/or rh8.
