Ubuntu Hardware Compatibility List. Know It, Love It
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most outright frustrating experiences using a Linux distribution
| is having hardware that absolutely, positively will not work with it for
| whatever reason.
|
| But what if you’re building a box? Is there any way to find out what hardware
| will work best?
|
| Yes. It’s called the Hardware Compatibility List or HCL for short.

Linux Driver Project Status Report as of April 2008
,----[ Quote ]
| The Linux Driver Project (LDP) is alive and well, with over 300 developers
| wanting to participate, many drivers already written and accepted into the
| Linux kernel tree, and many more being currently developed. The main problem
| is a lack of projects. It turns out that there really isn't much hardware
| that Linux doesn't already support. Almost all new hardware produced is
| coming with a Linux driver already written by the company, or by the
| community with help from the company.

| The problem is that even though Kroah-Hartman and his developers are willing

| open up their devices to open source, businesses are still hanging

Avoid Linux device support issues: A few minutes of research can make all the
difference
,----[ Quote ]
| You may have heard stories of Linux not being able to support some critical
| pieces of hardware, such as 3D graphics cards or WiFi. While Linux actually
| supports more hardware than any other operating system out there, it is
| certainly annoying when the one piece of hardware you need is not on the
| list.
