-== Hardware Overview ==
+{{header|docs}}
-Users often request that Fedora provide a ''hardware compatibility list'', which we have carefully avoided doing.  Why?  It is a difficult and thankless task that is best handled by the community at large than by one little Linux distribution.
+{{Docs_beat_closed}}
-However, because of our stance against closed-source hardware drivers and the problems of binary firmware for hardware, there is some additional information the Fedora Project wants to provide Fedora users.

-=== Useful hardware information in these release notes ===
-* For 32-bit x86 - [[Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific/x86| Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific/x86]]
-* For 64-bit x86 - [[Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific/x86_64| Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific/x86_64]]
-* For PowerPC - [[Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific/PPC| Docs/Beats/ArchSpecific/PPC]]
-=== Hardware stance ===
-From [http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ForbiddenItems] :
-* If it is proprietary, it cannot be included in Fedora.
-* If it is legally encumbered, it cannot be included in Fedora.
-* If it violates United States federal law, it cannot be included in Fedora.
-=== What can you do? ===
-. Get active.  Tell your hardware vendors you only want free, open source drivers and firmware
-. Use your buying power and only purchase from hardware vendors that support their hardware with open drivers and firmware.  Refer to http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/hardware.html for more information.
