The general [Hardware Compatibility Guide](http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html) is another good reference. Now for the list of known Gnu/Hurd limitations. * 1GB hard disk [partition limit](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q2-6) + * missing hardware drivers. Current [[GnuMach]] drivers are from Linux Kernel version 2.0. [[OskitMach]] will have Linux Kernel version 2.2 drivers. + * USB support is missing + * swap is highly [recommended](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/faq.en.html#q2-7). + * 768 megabytes RAM [approximately](http://www.freesoftware.fsf.org/thug/gnumach_hardware.html). + * console server not released for oskit-mach (in progress) + * sound support missing (in progress) + * XFree86 is stabilizing + * fatfs translator is stabilizing |
