well, basically whatever computer has inside intel hw will work out of |
52 |
the box with any linux version. the problem might rise with sd readers |
53 |
and integrated cameras which still have some problems. |
54 |
stay away from anything that contains a broadcom wireless board (now |
55 |
it's not very good) or via/sis videoboards (still not very supported). |
56 |
everything else will work out of the box without much problems. the |
57 |
only condition is to stay tuned with the linux kernel if something |
58 |
doesn't work and with various forums and mailing lists like |
59 |
xorg-mailing list, the kde/gnome one and sites like phoronix which |
60 |
deliver a big deal of work about linux hw compatibility. |
