Would be great if h-node.org had such information or links to it. The booklet could be a printer copy of it. How much of it is device-specific? E.g. wireless adapters are all configured in the same way with NetworkManager, all USB printers are found in the same way with cups if having the driver installed (although e.g. some work only with the usblp backend or have multiple supported drivers).
