Debian does not impose hardware requirements beyond the requirements
of the Linux kernel and the GNU tools.
Rather than attempting to describe all the different hardware
configurations that are supported for the PC platform, this section
contains general information and pointers to where additional
information can be found.
There are two excellent places to check for detailed information:
the Debian System Requirements[1] list and the Linux Documentation
Project Hardware Compatibility HOWTO[2]. For information on video
card support, you may also want to look at the XFree86[3] Project
web site.
