LINUX HARDWARE COMPATIBLITY LIST
VERSION: 0.4 DATE: 16 FEB 93
NOTE1: This list has been VERY WELL recieved as a whole and I thank everyone
for all their help. The list still needs a lot of work and could use some
restructuring. Unfortunatly I am finding that with work, and my other
projects I just don't have time to continue it. So I am now looking for a
volunteer to take over the Hardware List. If you would like to take the
list over please send me a note with the word "volunteer" in the subject
line, and let me know how long you've been using Linux. If no one comes
forward and volunteers I'm afraid that this list will vanish. PLEASE don't
send any more info for the list.
NOTE2: There have been some requests for a Linux Hardware Incompatibility
list. But do to a lack of responses I didn't come up with anything. I
won't pursue this (see NOTE1).
Welcome to the Linux Hardware Compatibility List. It is my hope that
this will be of help to people and that it will do away with a lot of the
will this work with my system questions. I also hope that this will help
people who want to buy a system to run Linux or are in the process of
upgradeing their system and want to make sure that the hardware they buy is
compatible with Linux (especially for item's such as SCSI controller's and
CD-ROM's).
If you are wondering about a specific piece of Hardware and you don't
find it in this list all I can say is I don't know at this time but as soon
as I find out it will be in the next list. If you find out that it work's
from some other source, i.e. a friend or trying it out, PLEASE let me know.
Also even though a piece of equipment is on this system doesn't mean that I
know how to get it to work with Linux, it is on this list because someone
has told me that it works on THIER system.
Thanks to everyone that has helped and sent info this list is a lot
better! If you sent me info and you don't see it here I appologize, but a
few thing's I couldn't figure out how to list.
