I definitely should. If I had the time to write a book I probably would.I'm so busy trying to scale a small operation into something bigger though it isn't like to happen.
I think a better solution is to advise people that the information can easily steer people in less desirable direction and that it would be better to support companies like ours (libre.thinkpenguin.com) and any other companies who would take the same approach to free software.
I don't think a monopoly is a wise thing. I do think it's better to throw peoples money into a funnel though. Combined the resources will do a lot more good. This can be seen with the USB N wireless adapters we are working on. And that is just because there are zero good USB adapters readily on the market any more that a decent amount of it is being funneled our way and resulting in change for the better.
Anyway- despite my criticism h-node is helpful compared to having nothing to go on. At least with it you don't have to go through a dozen different cards/adapters/printers/etc before eventually coming to something that at least partially works. Which is an improvement over having no resources at all. However this isn't a workable solution for anything other than the minority who are already on GNU/Linux.
