Re: Hardware Companies that Support Linux
HP has been really good about Linux drivers. HP printers are some of the easiest to set up. They provide support for Linux on HP computers.

Re: Hardware Companies that Support Linux
The issue is most hardware manufacturers want to support new products and allow old items to fade away.
ATI for example supports 8500radeon and newer cards but you will find mixed results from 7500 and older cards.
It is about Money: New socket for every processor, pci agp pciE, heatsink design, Power supply 200 300 400 500 watts, direct X support 9, 10, 10.1, Memory.
The only thing that remains the same is the power switch and screws thank God for industry standards. No support needed for those.
