Coping with MS-specific hardware

01/06/2007  
Relevance: 5.53
"Microsoft Windows is still unfortunately the most widespread platform which is why most major hardware manufacturers still first and foremost make sure their hardware works well with Windows. Even if Windows Vista is a flop in general compared to previous Windows versions, it is reasonable to assume that hardware manufacturers will prepare their hardware for various novelties that Vista may be offering."

TAPR introduces open source hardware license, OSI skeptical

02/24/2007  
Relevance: 5.32
The Tucson Amateur Packet Radio (TAPR) organization is sponsoring a new open-source license intended for hardware components. Authored by lawyer John Ackermann, the Open Hardware License (OHL) is a share-alike license that developers can apply to documentation and schematics associated with hardware projects. The license stipulates that those who distribute products based on OHL-licensed hardware specifications may not file patent infringement lawsuits against others who use the same hardware specifications.

Running Linux GUI Super Fast with Old Hardware [Part-I]

06/01/2007  
Relevance: 5.04
Linux promises to work well with old Hardware too so I started to investigate whether it is just a statement or Linux really works well with Old. Soon I have come to know about some Linux Window Managers and Softwares which have been designed to give life to Old Hardware with out any compromise in user friendliness and look. KDE/GNOME can make the latest Hardware of recent times just obsolete after 3/4 years and users has to go for a Hardware upgradation to continue with those Desktop technologies smoothly. where low fat, fast Linux Softwares still allow me using my 10 years old PI machine smoothly and proudly :-)

Hardware Detection under Linux [For Newbies]

05/30/2007  
Relevance: 4.93
I installed Linux (RedHat) first time in 1996. Naturally I was a Microsoft Windows user then and didn't have much knowledge about Hardware. Without GUI I was just like a Computer Illiterate. As a Newbie I had to face a huge problem to detect Hardware under Linux because then I was not familiar with Linux commands. I had to blindly depend on kudzu. Now a days Fedora, Knoppix use state_of_the_art Hardware detection as well as support very good GUI application to retrieve the Hardware information of the system. But This superior technologies also hide the actual commands on which these detection procedures are based on; from the users. Here I have tried to provide some information, Linux commands based on which a newbie can easily collect information of its Hardware without firing up any GUI tool.

O'reilly Radar: System76, Linux Hardware for Everyone

11/17/2006  
Relevance: 4.92
Last week at the Ubuntu Developer Summit, I spoke with Carl Ritchell, co-founder of System76. For years I've been seeking the Nirvana of a company that would ship me professional, high-quality, Linux-only hardware. Various large companies offer half-hearted Linux options. Several sketchy-looking resellers offer brand-name hardware with Linux installed over the top, but it's either a distro I don't want, or it's all old hardware.

Linux: Making Use of Older Hardware

09/28/2006  
Relevance: 4.82
I'm a power user in some ways when it comes to software, but I've never been similarly inclined towards the hardware side of things. Don't get me wrong - I still love a good processor or a graphics card, but in my case, I'm more interested in the stuff that runs on the hardware. I mean, you may have that horsepower, but it's not going to do you any good unless you have some powerful applications that utilize it.
