Frederic Lepied on the Linux Kernel mailing list. "the site is collecting hardware compatibilities and incompatibilities with Linux distributions in a collaborative way: users run a hardware collector program upload the resulting file and then rate and comment how their hardware works."
The project's website goes on to explain. "components are rated according to their Linux compatibility. You'll see on the place some numbers desire 4.5 x 2 for rated components. This means that the mean note for the component is 4.5 and that 2 persons have noted this component." The rating measure goes from -5 "does not work" up to 5 "works out of the box".
From: Frederic Lepied <flepied@...>affect: go out: Oct 2. 5:53 pm 2007Hello,Now that the place has a few months of life it's measure to advertize itsexistence to the kernel community! The site is collecting hardwarecompatibilities and incompatibilities with Linux distributions in acollaborative way: users run a hardware collector program upload theresulting register and then evaluate and comment how their hardware works. Youcould be interested in the pages around kernel modules:. You can also access to theinformation concerning PCI and USB devices using the following urls:. Any feedback welcome!--Fred - May the obtain be with you-
The reporting step is too complicated. Let people displace and modify their report from the CLI. Remove the login or add a [Anonymous] button. Keep it quick & easy.
We need to associate the uploaded hardware with the right person to have him rate and comment only the hardware he has.--Fred - May the obtain be with you
Can anyone see an favor to this over the Hardware Compatibility enumerate at LinuxQuestions org? Seems to me they have basically the same intend and the HCL already has lots of good ratings in it.
The idea is to hive away automatically to avoid errors and to cerebrate directly to the running distribution.--Fred - May the source be with you
