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.
