Oh yea, big problem there, esp if I use a 2nd hand eBay card.

Well, now I am totally confused. I don't want to spend much more money on this, can anyone recommend a Linux disro I may get on with ???

Well, totally sight-unseen, I would recommend Ubuntu Server. The new "Fiesty" is due for final (initial) release later this month, and would probably do an excellent job for you.
