A computer consists of a number of connected devices that are collectively known as computer <emphasis>hardware</emphasis>. <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase> normally configures hardware automatically, but there may be occasions when it is necessary to make manual changes to hardware settings. This section provides information on tools for configuring hardware.

Most of the devices (hardware) attached to computers should function properly in <phrase>Kubuntu</phrase>. The devices are likely to have <emphasis>free</emphasis> drivers. These drivers can be freely modified by developers, and any problems or incompatibilities with Linux can be fixed.

Some hardware does not have free drivers, usually because the hardware manufacturer has not released details of their hardware which would make it possible to create such a driver for a Linux system. If such a manufacturer has not created Linux drivers, the hardware may have limited functionality or may not work at all.
