linuxThe operating system GNU / Linux is the world compatible with all types of hardware, or so says one of the leading developers of drivers for this segment, which debunks the popular belief according to which the hardware is less support in GNU / Linux alternatives.

The words of Greg Kroah-Hartman is a bit surprising, especially for those usuariosdel operating system GNU / Linux that have been experiment with different distributions, and encounter the same problem: not all hardware is working properly on Vista or XP makes it equally in any Linux distribution.

The main supporter of USB drivers and one of the greatest managers in the distro kernel of Novell has claimed that these problems are scattered, and there are very few devices that are not supported.

The initiative specifically Linux Driver Project is helping to advance this field as more than 300 developers have signed on to set free drivers for hardware manufacturers to ask for them begin to offer the fruits of their labor.
