    Debian hardware support

    For a school project, I need to present Debian to my class. Each group is assigned a different distro. I have to list the hardware that Debian supports.
    Which list is shorter? Presenting what it supports or what it doesn't? Where can I find such info? (I searched but didn't find.)

    Many thanks in advance.

    If anybody has got any info about recent (2000-Now) hardware that isn't supported, please tell.

    Certain wireless cards don't have "out of the box" support. (Like mine) Nor do certain graphics cards... (Like mine) And some ADSL modems don't work very well either.

    Excellent, thanks again for the info.
    May I please ask you what is your wireless card model?

    Again, if anybody else has info on some hardware that isn't supported please tell.

    check here for 100% Supported Hardware. there isn't any list of Unsupported Hardware. there are a lot of instances where we make so called unsupported hardware work under Linux.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
