Hello alsofly, You are correct the current DAQmx driver for Linux does not officially support Mandriva 2007 or Suse10. I have included a _link_ to a a Knowledge_base_ that might offer more information to make you more successful with using these newer versions of distro of linux.<a href= http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/35D2B5E483A001A18625716B005BE464 target= _blank What Linux distributions do National Instruments' drivers and software support?</a While it is not officially supported, Mandrake has not made major kernel changes between 2006 and 2007, in theory it should continue to work. In the Knowledge_base_ the driver is listed as not certified to work with this distribution, but may work with an appropriate version of NI-KAL installed or other workarounds. Extensive user testing is recommended before deploying a system using this configuration.I also found a french <a href= http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=250&message.id=288... target= _blank discussion forum</a on a similar product, and the last post states that he was able to use the DAQmx driver on his Mandriva 2007 system. For more information on the supported versions of Linux, check our website for the latest drivers and Linux support information.Regards,  Sandra T.Applications Engineer | National Instruments

CentOS 3.8 is an open source binary-compatible clone of RHEL3 that works with NI-DAQmx 8.0... it's not as flashy as Mandriva of course.   <a href= http://www.centos.org/ target= _blank http://www.centos.org/</a <a href= http://centos.org/ target= _blank </a   Not surprising that it works, as it is 100% binary compatible with RHEL3.   ++Troy
