Well I first tried Mandrake 8.0 than 8.1 than Slackware 8.1 and still running slackware. Yes its harder to configure than XP . Sometimes you need to edit config files by hand ( yeah its fun ) . But LinuX will never be like XP because its Linux not windows it will always want you to read some to configure it . Thats why its more stable than windows ( imho that is ) as an example xp crashed many times when installing my hp 960c deskjet drivers but in linux i only configured kernel with parallel port support and boom its running like a charm.
And about the SB16 support check [link]www.alsa-project.org[/link] ( For the wondering ones ALSA = Advanced LinuX Sound Architecture and its in the 2.5 development kernel and will be in 2.6 [ 3.0 ? ] kernel )
