The compatybility is not distribution dependent, it depends on the kernel it has little to do with a disro. Some differences can be caused because every distro has a little different kernel. But if you compile your own one, you get all the hardware support that is included in the kernel I suggest looking for a particualar hardware on news groups archives smth like this hardware name +kernel Patryk PS i have pII 333; 256 RAM; matrox g450 (good open source drivers, even the TV out works fine) adaptec SCSI controller today i will have my new komputer expox kt600+amd 2500+ barton with sata hard disk and if you want i can write you smth about it |
