Is my hardware Compatible with Red Hat Linux 6.2?
Solution:
Hardware compatibility is particularly important to those of you with older systems or systems that you may have built yourself. Red Hat Linux 6.2 should be compatible with most hardware in systems that were factory built within the last two years. However , with hardware specifications changing and improving almost daily, it is hard to guarantee that your hardware will be 100% compatible. First, use Red Hat's online resources to make sure your hardware is compatible and/or supported. You'll find the hardware compatibility list at: http://www.redhat.com/hardware. Second, gather all the system hardware information you can; the Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide has instructions on doing this in the Installation-Related Reference (including instructions for Windows users). At the end of this chapter, a system requirements table (see the section called System Requirements Table at: http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.2-Manual/install-guide/s1-mockup-bef ore-begin-table.html ) is available for you to fill out and reference during the installation.
