1. Palm IIIxe does not run ordinary Linux, but it works well with hot-syncing with Linux. I've used Palm Pilot Prof. Palm IIIx and Palm IIIc successfully with Linux.
2. All ordinary SCSI CD writers work. See the cdrecord program, that is included with most distributions for info on IDE CD writers.
3. WinTV does, as far as I know, work with Linux, although you have to see the video-for-linux project on that topic.
Support for hardware can be measured in many ways:
1) Is it built-in or do you have drivers. Try to avoid situations, where you need drivers, this also accounts for Windows. External drivers can also be divided by stability.
2) Is the hardware fully supported or only some things. For example, a wheel mouse may be supported for "mousing", but not for "wheeling".
Therefore be more precise in what you mean by "supported". This also accounts for Windows - for example, if you buy a HP DeskJet 970Cxi printer, the Windows driver supports an indicator for how much ink there's left. But it only works if you use the USB interface, so yes, it is supported, and no, it's not supported on Windows NT... |
