Debian unstable since vwndetta 3.2 i think. Much success, appart from remembering to re-install the NVidia drivers after apt-get upgrade upgrades X11 ;)

I was wondering what distros us Linux users are successfully running vendetta on. I've got it running on RH9, AMD 1.1 tbird, stock kernel, nVidia Geforce 4.

My Mandrake 9.1 box with an amd 966, tnt2 chip, and stock kernel regularly segfaults, aparrently when trying to load roboship_hull. This problem has ben constant since Vendetta 3.3.3, when I first started playing.

I mainly play vendetta on the Mandrake box, since I use my RH as a dedicated server, that I haven't bothered pulling the better graphics card out of. Since Vendetta is the only thing on here that needs graphics acceleration, it's not worth the hassle.. yet. With the new stations, I may change my mind.

I'd only consider my RH9 box as successfully running Vendetta. What about the rest of you? successes? failures?
