Greetings All
I am in the process of planing a new system, could any one point to a
site where I could find information of current or near current hardware
tests that work well with Linux. Any pointers for a problem free build!
TIA |

sys_basher is a multithreaded system exerciser that I wrote to test the
stability of new systems. It's available here and in the Fedora 10, 11
and EPEL repositories.

To answer both your questions: When I'm planning a new system, I start
here:
http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/index.html
Also, for picking a motherboard, the MOBOT section of "motherboards" has
been indispensable.

Hm. Like "applying a plane* " ? Truly a hardware-related question!

Well I haven't yet found an Intel or similar based system where it
wouldn't run. Currently I am running
a Systemax no OS system with Slackware 13. I have used Xubuntu,
Ubuntu, Vector Linux etc. on it.
My previous system was built up out of components bought from Tiger
Direct.
My wife's refurbished HP Pavilion Laptop came with Vista. I shrunk
that partition and installed 64 bit
Slackware 13 on that guy. I had to add in an extra package called
wicd to get the wireless
connection to work. HP swore on a stack of manuals that I couldn't
revert to Win XP. I'll try that next.
