[dba-Tech] Linux compatibility testing

[Bryan Carbonnell]

Here's what PC World says:
https://www.pcworld.com/article/2975800/operating-systems/how-to-find-out-if-your-pc-is-compatible-with-linux.html

In a nutshell, just boot to a LIveCD/USB version of Linux. If it
works, then your hardware is compatible. If it doesn't then it may not
be.

well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,
shouting "What a great ride!"
