Windows 98 + RH 7.1 = One Sound Card

Comment:
I have two separate harddrives; one w/ windows 98 the other with RH 7.1. I have one computer which I continuosly swap harddrives in. I want to get one sound card that will work for both OSs. What type is best to use? I know there should not be any problems with a compatible sound card for windows but for Linux compatibility matters. I've read that Soundblaster is pretty good. Can I get any sound blaster or type matters?

There are hundreds (if not thousands) of sound cards that will work under linux. After you have decided upon a soundcard that meets your spec's and/or your budget, check somewhere like linuxdoc.org or something to see if it is compatible. hth.
