Hi *,
today talking on freenode's #fedora i came to know that there is'nt any
standard HCL (Hardware Compatibility List) for fedora 8, possibly reason
Fedora's 13 month life cycle, but i thought there must be one for at
least more stable hardware?
Lifecycle doesn't really have much to do with it but the sheer amount of
effort required to maintain a accurate compatibility matrix without a
associated test suite is just too high to be doing this manually.
Smolt allows anyone to submit their hardware profile, rate it and
document anything to do with their hardware including workarounds,
additional drivers etc in the smolt wiki. Efforts like these are
probably more effective.
