How to quickly and thoroughly use a LiveCD to test for hardware incompatibility?

Solution 1:

The best way would be to run through the Ubuntu Friendly Test Suite. Simply search for "Friendly" in the Apps lens, and run the "System Testing" app. This already has all hardware related cases, and is a quick, easy way to test through all hardware enablement test cases.
