Press Release: Message to LhD Users from DataPower "We are happy to announce that LhD has been acquired by ZDNet. This is really good news for both LinHardware.com and the Linux community at large..." More...

Press Release: Linux Hardware Database's Driver Database Contains Over 800 Drivers That's a lot of drivers!

Looking for our articles on Athlon K7 and Linux? See the original and the follow-up to learn about incompatibility problems and successful Linux installations on Athlon motherboards.

Subscribe to the LhD Linux Hardware Newsletter and stay informed of the latest kernel changes, device driver patches and significant Linux hardware news.

2000-05-24 Press Release: LhD Announces Linux Hardware Headlines Our headlines have been running for the last two weeks on the site, and are now available for syndication through an XML backend.

2000-05-10 We have changed some of the anonymous report settings. Please let us know what you think of that feature: should it stay or should it go?

2000-04-25 A major redesign of the front page. Let us know what you think!

2000-04-21 Press Release: LhD officially announces "Rated Linux Compatible" Program

2000-04-18 Driver search and display is now available from the front page, see "Actions" column!

2000-04-17 If you have a chance, please rate LhD in the Absolute PC Top 100. We are currently #12, on the second page, and that has to change :-)

 Why LhD?

This site is a repository of ratings of compatibility and performance of computer hardware components under Linux. It also includes some information about device drivers and some hints for getting quirky devices working under Linux. It could be thought of as a dynamic hardware compatibility FAQ last updated on Fri Nov 29 04:01:00 2002 , but it is much more than that.

 

See how well "Z" works with Linux. Check to see if the new NIC is supported. Find out how well that SCSI card has worked for other Linux users. Search for workarounds to get the pesky video card running.

Contribute your experience. Report your happiness with that great motherboard and help others make the right choice. Or rate that cheap network card that never worked right so low that others don't make the same mistake. (You need to be registered to enter product reports).

What LhD is NOT:

  • LhD is not owned or controlled by any hardware manufacturers or resellers - the reviews here are written by our users, and are not biased or influenced by any commercial third parties.
  • LhD is not a hardware certification lab - all of our reports are submitted by Linux users around the world, and their contents do not necessarily represent the opinion of the LhD team about the products in question.
  • LhD is not a list of only Linux compatible hardware - we list all kinds of products, many that will work great in Linux, and some that don't work at all. If a product isn't listed on our site, or if it does appear but has no reviews yet, that doesn't mean it isn't compatible, it just means we're waiting for a Linux user like you to share your experiences with the rest of the community!

 

How does it work? All of the information is stored in a database. Every report (a mini-review or mini-howto contributed by a Linux user) is tied to a specific product record. This means that product ratings can be calculated automatically, and all information pertaining to a particular piece of hardware is in one easy-to-find, uncluttered place.

All of the information provided on this site comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. If you feel that a particular report is incorrect, please add a report to LHD with your opinions.
