I am running Linux RH Mandrake 6.5 on an Asus P5A-B mother board, AMD K6-II 450mhz. and I have onboard sound ( 16 bit). I have set up linux and have the KDE and GNOME interfaces. when I set it up (two days ago) it did not ask me anything about my sound, and I am not sure what i need to do to configure it ( if anything). I have not tried it ( I blough out my speakers) it yet, but I am getting new speakers this week end, and don't want to screw it up if I need to do anything. I also would like to know of any good Linux books writen for RH Mandrake 6.5 ( if any ) or anything that would be good for this system. <br />

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
