thanks. I understand the problem with maintaining a list like that, but personally, i prefer a list with a note explaining the situation, than no list at all. Some stuff would be laptop-specific as well (as opposed to "i386-general"). Like how the new fingerprint readers on thinkpads dont work. That would be good information to put up. People also care about other things like fan speed control (are the fans always on high?), and suspend and hibernate. That's my opinion. -jf
