No hardwarelist for Debian?
Hi! - is there a Debian hardware compatibility list on web to check on which the Debian distribution has been tested? Having no experience with Debian (not yet owning one either) and after failing to find such a list at debian.org I get the impression that Debian installers have to look at various other sites - the idea behind Debian seems to be completely different from the one of SuSe? I would like to move over to Deb2.2 but I have no idea if my Diamond soundcard V90 would work. Robert
Re: No hardwarelist for Debian?
There is no Debian hardware list. Such as there is no RedHat hardware list. Nor Suse hardware list. If they exist, they are derived straight from Linux hardware list, aka list of hware supported by the kernel itself. So if you are wondering about your sound card, check out linux hardware-compatability-howto (not sure how updated it is, though), or ask on #linux on irc. Someone ought to know.

RE: No hardwarelist for Debian?

No, because Debian does not impose hardware restrictions beyond those of the linux kernel itself. Check out the Hardware-HOWTO at http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO.html Having no experience with Debian (not yet owning one either) and after failing to find such a list at debian.org Look at the installation manual: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/install I get the impression that Debian installers have to look at various other sites - the idea behind Debian seems to be completely different from the one of SuSe? :) I would like to move over to Deb2.2 but I have no idea if my Diamond soundcard V90 would work.
