Distribution :- Fedora 12 (32-bit, ext4)
Processor :- AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE @ 2.8 GHz (running fine)
Motherboard :- Biostar TA790GXBE (all ports working)
Graphics :- ATI Radeon HD 3300 (3D via mesa drivers)

Sound :- Realtek ALC 662 5.1 sound card (working)
Printer :- HP LaserJet 1018 (working via HP-plugin)

Highlight anything that is not working out-of-box in RED colour.

Distribution :- FreeBSD 8.0 (64-bit)
Processor :- AMD Phenom II X3 720 BE @ 2.8 GHz (running fine)
Motherboard :- Biostar TA790GXBE (all ports working)

It will prove a small help to the fellow FOSS users on our forum. If you can rectify a non-working device then please update your post and also tell how you made it to work.

i have not found any problem for Processor / Motherboard / Monitor / printers for ubuntu, i have used since 2006 (for different types of PCs / laptops / printers / monitors used during this period).
Never used any graphics card.
only hardware which create problem are - TV tuner card, it works after some command line editing only.
my current hardware is in my signature. it works fine with UTStarcom WA3002G4 modem configured in always online :)
