+# (Standard) Linux Hardware
+
+* we don't want to have a standard linux hardware as such - we just label/tag existing hardware in the shop with works with RHELX
+
+* Once there are new machines we (1st level / engineering) should get it to test them
+* Ideally the machines have a on-board (Intel) graphics card - only if there is a good reason (multiple screens, etc.) there should be an NVIDIA card
+
+* Relevant Redhat resources regarding supported hardware:
