I definately have an opinion there. Linux systems LOVE Nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/ TNT, TNT2, Geforce, and Geforce2 cards
(I have had one or several of each of the above - all by Asus).
They ROCK! Just got my second Asus7100 (Geforce2 w 32 MB).

The reason Linux likes Nvidia so much is that there is a single
Linux driver for all the cards. If a slower card doesn't have a
graphics function in hardware, the equivalent function is emulated
in the software drive.

In particular the Geforce & Geforce2 cards excel in OpenGL,
which you are going to see more and more of, in 3D simulation
software.
