I did not need any drivers for my system, I installed all the packages that were on the 3 cd's

and everything I needed was already there.

scrool down the list when you do a custom install, and the last selection was all rpm's

so just which drivers do you thing you need ?

it does do a hardware probe to detect all the hardware.

.exe's are for windows machines. Can't install those on Linux boxes.

File Sharing Programs check out www.zeropaid.com there are windows/linux/mac programs there.

For drivers, if they aren't built in already you need to search for them via google.com and then it should have a INSTALL file in it and you can follow those instructions to get your hardware up and running.

Hope this helps

Umm, software for Linux is all over the Internet. Asking where you can get software for Linux is like asking where you can get software for Windows Specifically, what are you looking for? *.exe files are Windows executables and they cannot be used in Linux without WINE, a Windows Emulator. WINE can be downloaded at http://www.winehq.com . CS for Linux? Hmm. WineX is always an option. You can buy it at http://www.transgaming.com/ . eMule is a great filesharing tool for Linux, download it at http://www.emule-project.net/ .
