I visited the zdnet hardware database at http://lhd.zdnet.com/ around
Christmas and found that it had been hacked.  Instead of the very helpful
database (which I referred to a lot), there was a pic of a mostly nekkid
lady plus the usual "w3 r l33t h@x0rz" language below it.  Afterwards, the
site seemed to go back and forth for a while between being completely down
and being just a blank page, and now seems to be just plain gone.

If the site was actually hosted on a MS server then perhaps it was just
poetic justice, but if it was a Linux server... :(

Try http://www.linuxhardware.org/.  Content is a little lean right now, but
hopefully it will get better.  And of course Mandrake, Redhat, and Suse each
maintain their own hardware compatability lists.


Sincerely,
Jim Hubbard
