That'd be an issue with any OS. If it uses something that the OS doesn't know how to deal with, and doesn't come with drivers for it, you're stuffed. Having said that, I'm yet to come across one that didn't work, but then I don't go buying the latest toys. Certain peripherals, rather than the motherboard basics, are another matter. I've come across boards where the on-board modem, sound, video, or NIC, just wasn't going to work. Had that problem with Windows, too. If you have a *specific* query, make it. You might find someone with experience with the same device who can comment about it. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
