hardware

Yamaha RX-V3800 and some older models like DSP-AX1 are great AV-Receiver, but unfortunately they have no control / web interface to manage it from outside. With a USB-Serial adapter connected to the reciver RS-232 interface, a computer or router and lyc you can control the reciver. In addition, a web interface can be created with wlyc to provide a web access to all network devices like PC, smartphone or tablet.

Perfomance

If not already purchased, then DON´T buy this crappy Epson B-300 / B-308 / B-310 / B-500 / B-508 / B-510 printer. The printer are very short-lived. After about 1-2 years and ~10,000 pages unusable, paper jam, ink leaking, complete damage... The same problems occurred by FOUR! Business Inkjet printers. I have expected a little bit more from a "business printer" in the € 500 price range. Shame on you Epson!

vga=xxx
set your framebuffer resolution to VESA mode xxx. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers)

acpi=off OR noacpi
This parameter disables the whole ACPI system. This may prove very useful, for example, if your computer does not support ACPI or if you think the ACPI implementation might cause some problems (for instance random reboots or system lockups)

acpi=force
