The list still needs a lot of work and could use some restructuring. Unfortunatly I am finding that with work, and my other projects I just don't have time to continue it. So I am now looking for a volunteer to take over the Hardware List. If you would like to take the list over please send me a note with the word "volunteer" in the subject line, and let me know how long you've been using Linux. If no one comes forward and volunteers I'm afraid that this list will vanish. PLEASE don't send any more info for the list. NOTE2: There have been some requests for a Linux Hardware Incompatibility list. But do to a lack of responses I didn't come up with anything. I won't pursue this (see NOTE1). 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). 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. 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.
