                    LINUX HARDWARE COMPATIBLITY LIST

VERSION: 0.2                                               DATE: 10 JAN 93

NOTE:  I am on vacation and away from my main system so this has taken a
lot longer than intended to get out.  While I intend to make it weekly,
till the end of January when I get off of vacation it will be eratic and
I'll probably only get one or two revision's out. 
     Welcome to the Linux Hardware Compatibility List.  It is my hope that
this will be of help to people and that it will do away with a lot of the
will this work with my system questions.  I also hope that this will help
people who want to buy a system to run Linux or are in the process of
upgradeing their system and want to make sure that the hardware they buy is
compatible with Linux (especially for item's such as SCSI controller's and
CD-ROM's).
  Unlike my Linux BBS List this will only be posted to c.o.l. and c.o.l.a.,
this is to make it easier for me to post.  Besides both c.o.l. and
c.o.l.a. are both gated to FidoNet.  For now at least I will attempt to
post this list weekly, near the beginning of the week.  
     As this list is in it's infancy (conception is more like it), I need
LOTS of input.  Both in the form of data for the List and suggestion's on
how to make improvement's.  If you see something such as a hard drive in the
wrong place please let me know!  You can reach me by sending E-Mail to me at
healyzh@holonet.net .  I know I can't spell or punctuate so send any messages
about such things to /dev/null.
     If you are wondering about a specific piece of Hardware and you don't
find it in this list all I can say is I don't know at this time but as soon
as I find out it will be in the next list.  If you find out that it work's
from some other source, i.e. a friend or trying it out, PLEASE let me know.
Also even though a piece of equipment is on this system doesn't mean that I
know how to get it to work with Linux, it is on this list because someone
has told me that it works on THIER system.
     As you can see I need LOTS and LOTS of input to make this list work!
But thanks to everyone that has helped and sent info this list is a lot 
better!  If you sent me info and you don't see it here I appologize, but a 
few thing's I couldn't figure out how to list.
