I'm glad everyone's rolling with this idea so quickly!

Know the feeling, think it took the best part of a week on-and-off to get mine going in the end! On 12/07/06, Mark Van den Borre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
[...] Lists featuring these require quite a lot of maintenance work. Regular maintenance is _hard_ to do well for a group of volunteers. For ubuntu-be.org, we're just starting a similar experiment right now. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BelgianTeam/OsLessLaptopShops .
Yes, I can imagine! I'll keep an eye on your experiment too, see if our groups can all help each other out - thanks :) On 12/07/06, Alan Helmore-Simpson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
And posibly a further section to track experemental work ? I happen to be trying to get Ubuntu running on a HP Tablet PC - just to see it I can :-) and it would make sense to me to use this page as a contact area ?
Good idea! See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/HardwareExperiments and edit away. On 12/07/06, john levin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Would it be worth switching the focus from particular hardware (and how many people are really going to focus on serial numbers etc, rather than just brand name) to linux-friendly vendors? [... eg] (linuxemporium.co.uk)
Good idea also. But I think doing both at once for now at least would be a good idea - the more info the better. I've added Linux Emporium to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/Hardware - if you could add a comment about why it's good that'd be great.
