I'd like to make a suggestion. There is often confusion about which machines Debian supports and which we don't, yet. There is a bewildering array of machines, not to mention network cards, displays, mice, video cards, sound cards, port types, and so forth which an individual system might mix-and-match. Many of the Ports pages are out of date.
Debian supports a *lot* of systems. I think it would make sense to start trying to list which ones, specifically. Also, it would be really nice to know which ones aren't supported, both for new would-be users and for developers as a todo list. I think the easiest way to achieve this, would be to provide a web page where people could enter in their system components, preferably chosen from a list of known components with an 'other' capability. Then, they could also enter a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, on Debian on that architecture. Also any specific problems. Then after submission of the user's hardware specs, the system can show a (dated) list of previous user's experiences with those components. We sould also need to sprinkle pointers to this page into the install documentation, FAQs, probably even put a link on the front Debian page. What do people think? *----------------------------------------------------------------* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: <http://www.debian.org> | | : :' : | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | `. `'` | . oo Chris Tillman | | `- | ( -) [EMAIL PROTECTED] | *----------------"--"--------------------------------------------*
