Here may be some useful tips:

1.  Google for "Linux Hardware Compatibility List"

2.  Go to:  http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/index.php  (found from search 
above).

3.  Go to:  http://www.linux-drivers.org/  (fairly complete list of HCLs for 
Linux).  Last updated 2 days ago, so I'm assuming its fairly current.
