Hardware compatible with Linux?


hey. im a newbie in linux, and i've talked to some people, they said me that my hardware should be compatible with the kernel of linux. the linux that i want to install is Mandrake 9.1
i've uploaded a summary of my hardware's specification, can you tell me if it will fit to linux's (Mandrake 9.1) kernel?
here is the the link:

and another thing - my modem is a cable modem - Motorola SURFboard 4200.

no, all the drivers you need should come inside the kernel itself. no mountain floppies and cd's are needed in linux...
