Posted: 11 Jul 2004 03:30 PM PDT AUWG <net> wrote in message news:<net>... Probably the only problem Linux will present with a brand new computer will be hardware, that is, not the processor itself, but devices attached to it. Very new hardware sometimes is not supported by any distribution of Linux, because no one has written drivers for it yet. The various distros (RedHat, Suse, ...) have lists of hardware that are known to work with their distro. Also, unusual hardware is sometimes not supported. Laptops might give more trouble in this regard than desktop models, although Linux works well on many laptops. In the past I have bought Dell computers and installed Linux, but several times I had trouble with a new video card that wasn't yet supported. I haven't done this in recent years, but I hear that there are issues with Linux and currently popular video cards (nvidia, ati), and personally I would research this question before investing in a new video card and/or monitor. A special issue is modems. So-called winmodems are modems with some of the usual hardware functions taken over by software, thus these are cheaper than modems that do everything in hardware. Moreover, the software that runs winmodems is proprietary and only works on Windows, hence winmodems are a bad idea in Linux (although I've heard that lately some Linux support for winmodems is available). If I were buying a new computer today that needed a modem, I'd research the modem question carefully before investing my money. I'll bet that if you bought a second hand computer, 1-2 years old, you'd find that you could install almost any distro of Linux and it would work fine, apart from problems with winmodems. Another thing, you probably want at least 512MB RAM if you're going to run the standard desktops (KDE or Gnome). ---Nessuno |

Posted: 06 Jul 2004 06:25 AM PDT I had the same problem. I have two hard drives and told it not to touch the one with "Win XP", but it still went ahead and took over the drive. I never even got the option to boot from that OS ("Win XP"). All in all, I had to format my hard drive, and trowed Linux in the bin.
