In this first in a series of five tutorials, Ian introduces you to configuring your system hardware with Linux. By the end of this tutorial, you will know how Linux configures the hardware found on a modern PC and where to look if you have problems (free reg. req.).
Is this a joke or what? I’m almost sure the proprietary Microseft XP system is to blame for this.
I don’t understand. I’ve had very little problems with Linux recognizing my hardware. So, what’s the problem?
Part of a series relating to LP101 preparation. It is on the IBM site and you need to sign up to get at the article as indicated in the headline. This is free.
There are literally dozens of techy articles on the IBM site so once you have signed up you can access them.

I question the IBM centric type Linux articles. IBM is not the best friend of Linux.
Why do you say that IBM is not the best friend of Linux? I always thought that they were one of the major linux supporters. In fact most of their server systems run linux.
IBM is in the business of selling overpriced hardware. Don’t you think its odd that they would push Linux over the far superior AIX? Linux is just a means for IBM to create inroads to other market where they can’t get penetration with AIX or mainframes. Granted running linux on a mainframe is handy however why would you spend that much money on a piece of hardware like that to run Linux when you could get the same fault tolerance from a cheaper blade server running clustered linux?
I am not very sure, but how does the idea of diminishing expenses sound to you? From what I gathered on Groklaw, the L in Aix 5L actually refers to Linux and the fact that IBM is only offering Aix till Linux becomes as good in the enterprise as Aix.
while ibm does a lot to support linux they. they do more in support of windows. like a good used car salesman, they hav what you want, when you want it.
