Supported hardware for debian
Greetings, I am preparing to buy a new machine to run debian linux 2.2. As Im buying it solely for linux, I would like any good advices on what sort of hardware would be recommended for debian Linux. Maybe any of you have some good links or personal experience on this? Thanks in advance Jos

Thank you, its a good start, but unfortunately this document is over 1 year old. I was hoping for something more up-to-date. Guess I just keep on looking. :-) Jos - Original Message - From: Leen Besselink [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Jostein Ågedal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2000 11:21 PM Subject: Re: Supported hardware for debian On Wed, 8 Nov 2000, [iso-8859-1] Jostein Ågedal wrote: I am preparing to buy a new machine to run debian linux 2.2.

One way to find out, is look it up here: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/#new-inst Is has all kinds of information, including information about supported hardware and says, the Debian is like any other Linux and then refers to this document: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html Hope this helps, Lennie. PS One tip, buy Good memory, Linux can be a bit more memory critical then for example Windows. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
Re: Supported hardware for debian
Yea, this is probably the right way to go :) I'm totally new to Linux at the moment, spent several hours to choose debian as a distro. So many choices... Actionally I have found some pages with Hardware compatibility for the newest red hat, mandrake++ Will it be at least 99% sure that if the hardware work with one distro, it will work with the rest?

Well, I'd stick to a computer if you're thinking of running Linux. I've heard of some projects trying to get toasters and coffee makers running Linux but they're still in the early alpha stage! ;) Seriously, it'd probably be easier, and much more efficient, for you to come up with a list of hardware you'd like to purchase and let the list readers tell you what's good and what's not. After all, the list of hardware compatible with Linux is pretty large! A good place to start might be the list of vendors that sell machines with Linux preinstalled.
