Best Answer

Linux has broad support for a wide range of devices and platforms, so there is no single computer that is "best" suited overall. Generally speaking, any motherboard will "work;" ones with Intel processors and chipsets will probably offer the best performance and stability. Intel graphics cards should work out of the box on any distribution; NVIDIA makes excellent (though proprietary) drivers for their cards. It is probably best to avoid ATI cards and graphics. Virtually all Ethernet adapters work; wireless cards from Intel and Linksys usually have drivers available.

Can operation system work without MS DOS?

I use a MAC. It uses UNIX for its operating system instead of MS DOS. A number of older computers used CP/M. Some computers use LINUX. In fact many nations or bureaus, education departments, states, or provinces require LINUX instead of MS DOS. LINUX has many similarities to UNIX and almost UNIX all programs will run on LINUX straight out of the box. A number of MS DOS programs will also run on LINUX.
