    Talking What didn't work out-of-the-box with your Linux rig?

    Well, the only thing that didn't work right out-of-the-box was a PSX-2-PC USB adapter, which I had used before to play SNES games in my rig.

    List of the things that worked out-of-the-box:

    * Wireless keyboard Genius mdl. no. GK-04004/k
    * LCD mon. 19´´ SOYO widescreen
    * DRVrw Dual Layer LG 24x
    * Printer HP Photosmart D7100 Series
    * Generic Bluetooth Dongle
    * Kodak EasyShare camera
    * GE USB mouse

    Almost every single thing I plug into mi PC works without hassle.

    The only thing that didn't work was my WiFi card. Everything else was flawless!

    Dell Wireless adaptor for laptop, I got a Belkin one from a friend and that works OOTB.

    On my Desktop, my NVidia card didn't work with 3d stuff OOTB, but that's because the drivers weren't included obviously, so I don't think that counts. The restricted drivers manager worked fine.
