I am about to purchase a new machine on which I hope to install Debian. I was told by someone that I should insure that the new hardware will be Linux compatible. I thought that one of Debian's claims to fame is that it runs on so many different platforms. Perhaps, however, there are still hardware items that it can not handle?
I am looking at what is, I believe, fairly mainstream x86 hardware, either a Celeron 1.8G, Riva TNT 32MB screen card, 17" AOC screen, 256M DDR (no more technical details available at present for this machine) or an AMD 2000Mhz, Elitegroup (ECS) mobo, 3D-Force 32MB video card, MAG 786FS 17" monitor, 256M DDR, Western Digital 40GB drive, details (half in English) at: ( http://www.exlmarket.co.il/exlmarket2/product-info2/116.1.html ). Can anyone confirm for me that either of this machines will run Debian and X-Windows without great difficulty? :) Thank you, Hershel PS: If anyone also wants to convince me that it's worth the extra money ($90) for the second machine, feel free to (perhaps offline, though). :) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
