[Chimera-users] installation of headless chimera

[Greg Couch]

One more thing, you would be be much better off running a newer version 
of Linux, preferably a desktop version.  And I would strongly recommend 
using an AMD/ATI or NVIDIA graphics card and installing the vendor's 
proprietary driver.  The proprietary drivers are typically faster and 
more robust than the open source drivers.  If you stick with Fedora core 
6, a proprietary driver is mandatory because the older open source 
drivers are too buggy for chimera.  (Fedora core 6 was released on 
October 24, 2006, and the current version is Fedora core 15 which was 
released today.)
