Well the Mandrake hardware listing at
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/hardware.php3 doesn't explicitly mention any
of these models, though that's not to say you won't be able to get them to
work. Are they fairly recent? It might be worth rooting about in the listing
to see if you can find some well-supported not-quite-so-recent models which
you may then be able to pick up at a bargain price.
