Ice-9:
Ok, I've been reading these forums for a while now and thanks to a lot of you guys I did some research on Linux and decided to go for it (Win2K is what I'm using now).
I hesitated for a long time because I'm not sure I will be able to set up my rig correctly, I'm not a techie but generally speaking I know what I'm doing with pc's, and I figured that I could always ask for help if I have to ...  
Which brings me to my question, for the pc I'm building now (the one destined to have Suse as an OS) I have the choice between a Geforce3 and an Ati Radeon 8500.
So I'd like to know which one would be your primary choice and why, I know Nvidia has Linux support and I think Ati too but I can't decide on which one to use.
Could you please tell me your thoughts on the matter?

Thanks a lot.

Speaking in terms of support under X in Linux you can try this http://www.xfree86.org to see if both are supported under XFree86 4.* or 3.3.6. As far as gaming in Linux is concerned, I'm afraid I'm not an expert, sorry   ;)  
[edit: i fixed your link]

either one is good ..... geforce 3 is a bit faster I believe, radeon has a bit better image quality.

If you're really a GPL/open source zealot you would go for ATI because their driver is open source and the NVIDIA driver isn't
