Do we have a cannonical list of "Mandrake supported hardware"? This
knowledge seems to be embedded in apps like the <device>drakes, but
it would be a little more useful to know what works _before_ buying
it ;) In a perfect world, I'd like to know of a webpage where I can
surf in from a computer store's terminal to check whether the item
they have on sale is on the accepted list.

Gary you will get this twice:
there is a webpage somewhere in the linux-mandrake.com tree but it
doesn't tell the whole story
(and last time i checked was way to good in hiding data) Anyway the list
would be incomplete since
some hardware (like my Topic Modem) isn't "supported" but works after
trivial adjustments
(force create the ttyS1 to hang it from {drakes thats also what M$ hangs
it from} and stick a line in rc.local)
grand rule is "Designed for Windows" is a bad thing and if the hardware
is more than ten years old or less than ten fortnights
old good luck.
