From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Graphics Card Help (feddit.nl)

Can anyone help me pick out a budget friendly (sub $200) graphics card?

Doesn't have to be current generation
I won't be gaming at all on the PC
Needs to run well on Linux
Must run 3 monitors
Biggest workout it will get is streaming security cams on one screen, full screen video on another.
Power supply is only 295W and I'd rather not upgrade it.

Any help is much appreciated!

Thank you all for the input.

If I was looking for a top of the line card I would dig in and learn everything there is to know about graphics cards to make an informed decision. When it comes to buying a run of the mill card, its hard to get that excited!

Not sure what I'll buy yet, but you've pointed out what I need to look for. Thanks!
