Hardware Checklists to Prepare for Installfest

It is often necessary to know what your hardware is to install Linux.
Please try to determine as much as you can.
You can then check this against hardware compatibility lists to see if problems are likely.
(see links from home page)
Please either email us your information or bring it with you to the installfest.
