Hi, I checked http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ for hardware compatibility of Debian. As this page tells to put the output of lspci -n command and then it shows the availability of drivers of the corresponding hardware. I put the output of one of dell servers . But it shows only a few drivers are available for that dell server . I want to give iso DVD/CD to a person who only know how to install linux ,do not know how to compile and install kernel/ driver for hardwares. This is the lspci -n 00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:25c0 (rev 12) 00:02.0 Class 0604: 8086:25e2 (rev 12) 00:03.0 Class 0604: 8086:25e3 (rev 12)

This means all drivers of the hardware is not available in Debian. So there is a compatibility issue. How to resolve this issue. I want to see all yes under "works" column.
And I want to marry Salma Hayak, but we don't all get what we want, do we? So stop demanding and making unreasonable leaps of pseudo-logic.
Anyway, I checked my *perfectly functioning* system against that hcl website and got results similar to yours: "yes" on the important components (except, sadly, the Firewire link), and <blank> on the the internal system stuff like "RS780 Host Bridge".
So, I would bet that Linux will *probably* install just fine on that machine...
