The configuration file used to build the standard distribution Debian GNU/Linux kernel assumes an 80386 CPU, and includes support for PCMCIA cards, most SCSI cards for which there exist Linux drivers (with the notable exception of the NCR53c810), and most Ethernet cards for which there exist Linux drivers. Linux kernels suited to a variety of special platforms are included in the directory buzz-fixed/disks-i386/special-kernels at any Debian FTP archive site, along with their configuration files.
