This is just my opinion, but if when we are posting stuff, if we could all maybe try and remember there are thousands of possible configurations out there. I think it would be handy for everyone if you could post your uname -a and your various distros in use when posting or asking for help to make sure we can pick out consistency issues with certain kernels, distro's etc..

And just for fun, if you feel like posting what your running linux on here just to see what myriad of linux configurations are out there..

My primary development machine.

Hand Rebuilt Enterprise Linux 3 - Linux condor 2.4.21-9.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Jan 8 17:08:56 EST 2004 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

IBM eserver xSeries 346 -[884011U]-
Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz Hyperthreaded
3GB DIMM DDR Synchronous
Dual 15K RPM 36GB Ultra 320 Drives Striped
Dual 1GB Ethernet
Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]

Since this is a 2U Rackmount server, the graphics aren't optimal for game development, but TGB still seems to run fine on it.

My primary machine (not just development) is a carefully crafted machinery of joy, with handpicked parts.

Well, OK, so I just took what I found in the bin :)

Ubuntu Edgy Eft, kernel 2.6.17-10-generic
Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz, model 2, stepping 9
GeForce 6600GT
1GB RAM (more if I can be bothered to open it up again)
Crappy speed PATA, decent speed SATA drives at 200-250GB

The graphics card is actually better than many are stuck with. My other computer is a pure entertainment computer, with an Athlon 64 and GeForce 7600GS, 2GB RAM and a few drives too many.

Uh, my current linux development box is running FC6 in Parallels. Does that make me a bad person?
