LINUX INSTALLATION CHECKLIST Linux will run on almost any Pentium based PC (386 or better), and it also runs on PowerPC, sparc, alpha and other chips. The only problems you might have are with very new hardware, esoteric graphics chips (expecially in laptops) and devices designed "especially" (i.e. exclusively) for Windows, such as "winmodems". This form will help you or the person helping you install Linux get a better feel for what kind of hardware you have and what problems you might encounter. 1) Computer Make/Model: 2) Processor Make/Model/Speed: 3) Memory type/size: 4) Hard Drive(s): Type (circle): IDE / EIDE / ATAPI / SCSI Size / Type of filesystems(s): 5) CD-ROM: Type (circle): IDE / EIDE / ATAPI / SCSI Make/Model/Speed: 6) Monitor Make/Model/Size: 7) Video Card/Chipset/Memory size: 8) Mouse make/model/number of buttons: 9) Modem: Type (cirle): Internal, External, PCMCIA, WinModem Make/model/speed: 10) Ethernet Card: Type (circle): 10baseT / 100baseT / AUI / BNC Make/model: 11) Presently Installed Operating System(s): Version: Space Used: Free Space:
