Can my graphics and sound cards work on a Linux operating system?

I've been using Windows 98 SE for almost eight years now, and I'm upgrading my old computer, which is a Pentium II, to a used Pentium III, I don't have that much money to buy a new Pentium IV PC, so I'm thinking of using a Linux operating system, since one of my friends says that Linux is less susceptible to viruses than Windows, and I don't wanna pay Bill Gates anymore...





I'm thinking of re-using my old graphics and sound cards from my old Pentium II, so my graphics card is a Diamond Stealth II G460 and my sound card is a Diamond Sonic Impact S70 ESS Maestro2 PCI, so my question is, will these old graphics and sound cards work on a Linux operating system, and will the device drivers for this cards be compatible on Linux?

Can my graphics and sound cards work on a Linux operating system?

You can use linux in place of yourdistro if you want to find out about linux in general.
