What hardware will work with latest Ubuntu?

Fritz Hawkey: Just about any hardware will work fine, but I can give you some tips.1. NVidia's been having some trouble lately, and AMD has been doing an amazing job with their Linux drivers. Even better, AMD's moving ATi to an open source model (they're just working out licensing) so I'd recommend an ATi video card. The latest drivers from AMD even support redirected rendering for 3D on a 3D surface (like the cube), and Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, due out in April of next year, will have DRI2 (again, redirected rendering) working on the open source Radeon driver.2. Your biggest issue will be a printer. HP and Epson are both very well supported. For other brands, check before you buy. Personally, I love my Epson.3. Wireless shouldn't be too much of a problem. Just find what chipset the wireless is using, and you should be OK. Ralink, Atheros, Intel, and Broadcom are the most common, and should work fine.4. TV Tuners, IR receivers, and Bluetooth devices will be your odder ones to f! ind. That said, it's about as difficult getting ones with good Windows support. If you are looking for one of those components, I'd recommend asking a specific question.Good Luck, and have fun with Linux! I know I do every day, and the best part: It has so far run just fine on every computer I've stuck it on! Even the Bluetooth on this Netbook, and the RaLink wireless on my MSI, the weird Radeon with dual-DVI on my Dad's desktop, and the totally random WiFi card in my friend's desktop....Show more

Verdie Wollen: it truly is a enormously previous card. you need to attempt this motive force, yet no provides. i think of you would be greater useful off getting a different pics card, in case you will stumble on a place with a lot bin of AGP enjoying cards.

Jayson Brod: Sup is right, almost anything will work with Ubuntu, but you shouldn't make a Hackintosh. Linux is better.

Shaquita Wernicki: Anything will work, linux supports it all! And if it doesn't it autom! atically finds 3rd party drivers. You should build a hackint0s! h instead, cuz those need to be specific, linux doesn't.
