This section contains information about what hardware you need to get started with Debian. You will also find links to further information about hardware supported by GNU and Linux.

4.

Debian does not impose hardware requirements beyond the requirements of the Linux kernel and the GNU tool-sets. Therefore, any architecture or platform to which the Linux kernel, libc, <command>gcc</command>, etc. have been ported, and for which a Debian port exists, can run Debian. Please refer to the Ports pages at <ulink url="&url-ports;"></ulink> for more details on &arch-title; architecture systems which have been tested with Debian.

5.

Rather than attempting to describe all the different hardware configurations which are supported for &arch-title;, this section contains general information and pointers to where additional information can be found.

7.

Debian &release; supports eleven major architectures and several variations of each architecture known as <quote>flavors</quote>.

87.

This document covers installation for the <emphasis>&arch-title;</emphasis> architecture. If you are looking for information on any of the other Debian-supported architectures take a look at the <ulink url="http://www.debian.org/ports/">Debian-Ports</ulink> pages.

88.

This is the first official release of &debian; for the &arch-title; architecture. We feel that it has proven itself sufficiently to be released. However, because it has not had the exposure (and hence testing by users) that some other architectures have had, you may encounter a few bugs. Use our <ulink url="&url-bts;">Bug Tracking System</ulink> to report any problems; make sure to mention the fact that the bug is on the &arch-title; platform. It can be necessary to use the <ulink url="&url-list-subscribe;">debian-&arch-listname; mailing list</ulink> as well.

Complete information regarding supported DEC Alphas can be found at <ulink url="&url-alpha-howto;">Linux Alpha HOWTO</ulink>. The purpose of this section is to describe the systems supported by the boot disks.

91.

Alpha machines are subdivided into different system types because there are a number of generations of motherboard and supporting chipsets. Different systems (<quote>sub-architectures</quote>) often have radically different engineering and capabilities. Therefore, the process of installing and, more to the point, booting, can vary from system to system.

92.

The following table lists the system types supported by the Debian installation system. The table also indicates the <emphasis>code name</emphasis> for these system types. You'll need to know this code name when you actually begin the installation process:
