   My suggestion is to check out the information at:   
      
   > http://en.ecomstation.ru/hardware.php   
      
   and select what you want that is known to work reasonably well with    
   eCS. Chances are very good, that what works with eCS will also work    
   with Linux (although you also want to do research on that too, since    
   some versions of Linux don't get along well with other operating    
   systems).
