- LINUX HARDWARE COMPATIBLITY LIST
-
- VERSION: 0.2 DATE: 10 JAN
- 93
-
- NOTE: I am on vacation and away from my main system so this has taken
- a
- lot longer than intended to get out. While I intend to make it weekly,
- till the end of January when I get off of vacation it will be eratic
- and
- I'll probably only get one or two revision's out.
- 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).
- Unlike my Linux BBS List this will only be posted to c.o.l. and
- c.o.l.a.,
- this is to make it easier for me to post. Besides both c.o.l. and
- c.o.l.a. are both gated to FidoNet. For now at least I will attempt to
- post this list weekly, near the beginning of the week.
- As this list is in it's infancy (conception is more like it), I
- need
- LOTS of input. Both in the form of data for the List and suggestion's
- on
- how to make improvement's. If you see something such as a hard drive in
- the
- wrong place please let me know! You can reach me by sending E-Mail to
- me at
- healyzh@holonet.net . I know I can't spell or punctuate so send any
- messages
- about such things to /dev/null.
- 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.
- As you can see I need LOTS and LOTS of input to make this list
- work!
- But 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.
