How can I choose the best Linux® hardware?

The best Linux® hardware can be chosen by consulting the Linux® hardware, preferably for a particular distribution or taste you will run. Such a list can be found on the official website for a particular distribution or on the website that offers a general list of Linux® devices as part of the documentation accompanied by the operating system. It is also very valuable to have a solid understanding of Linux® hardware, which are almost always incompatible with any distribution, so you can save time and frustration that seeks to ensure that certain devices work. The internet search for "Linux devices" also tends to lead to where you can download the drivers that you need to gain compatibility for your Linux® hardware. Experienced users Linux® have learned not to underestimate the value of Linux® hardware available from technical assistance to the supported community for distribution and hardware Votázka. This problem is sometimes seenTwo different editions of the same distribution due to the different core versions on which the release is based. Research is very important before adjusting, upgrading or migrating to another taste or to another relaxation of the same taste. Knowing what particular types of Linux® hardware are barely compatible, half of the battle is probably, especially if you are new in Linux®.

For example, a dial -up connection in Linux is almost always problematic with what is called the "soft" or "win" modem. This is because these devices lack certain hardware components for which there is no compensation in the Linux® core as it is in another operation. Regarding the need to create a connection to dial, you need to avoid problems and need to tune configuration files based on a controller or a real hardware modem. Many people still use the connection with dialing either as a primary or backup connection.

Another POKYny, which is useful in choosing the best Linux® hardware, is that very economic printers are generally incompatible and commercial and network printers or all-in-one tend to be compatible. The same can be said when we talk about very economic digital cameras; They do not tend to be compatible with many Linux® distributions. If you are worried about the comfort of setting the new system with distribution that will work directly from the box, it is useful to know that virtually all PC system boards and laptops) based on Pentium (PC) are considered to be Linux® compatible hardware.

Some Linux® devices that will not work correctly are still compatible because functionality can be achieved by editing hardware configuration files. Depending on the hardware in question, you may need to know how to work with the core modules. Your knowledge of Linux® and programming will undoubtedly affect your decision when choosing the best Linux® hardware for yourself or client.
