Welcome to the Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO. This document lists most of the hardware components supported by Linux, so reading through this document you can choose the components for your own Linux computer. Still need some help selecting components after reading this document? Check the "Build Your Own PC" site at http://www.verinet.com/pc/.
Subsections titled Others list hardware with alpha or beta drivers in varying degrees of usability or other drivers that aren't included in standard kernels. Note that some drivers only exist in alpha kernels, so if you see something listed as supported but isn't in your version of the Linux kernel, upgrade.
The latest version of this document can be found on http://users.bart.nl/~patrickr/hardware-howto/Hardware-HOWTO.html, SunSite and all the usual mirror sites.
If you know of any Linux hardware (in)compatibilities not listed here please let me know, just send mail. Thanks.
