I haven't actually tested Knoppix with things like SATA hard drive or firewire 
ports.  They are probably detected and used, too.

&gt; I generally build my own systems at home. At the office we've had
&gt; occasional problems with various motherboard NICs, but they've had more
&gt; to do with hardware reliability than with driver troubles.

&gt; &gt; Good Morning,

&gt; &gt; I want to get a new system and put Linux on it. I'm basically looking
&gt; &gt; for general advice on purchasing a new system targeted for linux. The
&gt; &gt; goal is general use and fun.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Some of the systems I'm looking at have integrated network and video on
&gt; &gt; the mother board (e.g HP Pavilion a700n). I've had problems in the past
&gt; &gt; with finding drivers for proprietary or off the wall adapters. Short of
&gt; &gt; doing a BYOS I'd like to avoid these kind of problems.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Any experience on how to avoid these and other problems before buying?
&gt; &gt; Anyone hit a wall with integrated adapters? What's been your experience?
