Question Check Hardware compatibility via LIVE CD
Hi

Can i use Solaris LIVE CD to verify that ubuntu has all drivers present for a certain desktop PC?

which Live CD should i use ? there any many varities out there

Before i purchase this expensive PC i want to ensure Solairs has all drivers for it.

Specs are :

Processor Intel Core i7 3770
Motherboard Intel DH77KC
2 HD Western Digital 500 GB
4 LAN cards.

I plan to create zones on this machine to create 4 virtual machines running simultaneously

Which one now? Solaris or Ubuntu? I'm confused.

You always test with the Live-CD from the OS you plan to run. If this is Ubuntu, then the Ubuntu-CD, if it is Solaris, then the Solaris CD.

I hope this helps.
