I just put in a request/whimper with ZDNET to see if the lhd was still available or was destroyed. Perhaps I can toss it on one of my webpages... it's about time I did something with them anyways...

Re: Where's the LHD?
What i normalyl do when i'm considering purchasing new haredware, and want to verify functionality under Linux is the following: 1) Check the kernel. First grep in /usr/src/linux/Dcoumentation. That's a guarenteed way to know if its supported. 2) Go to groups.google.com and search the linux NG's to see what us commoners have run into already. 3) Go to the vendor's website, and see if they offer any linux support for that component. If you come up dry on all 3, then you're most likely going to end up with something that is windoze only. BTW, i believe that IEEE1394 is still classified as 'Experimental' when configuring a 2.4.20 kernel. Not sure about 2.5.x, but then again, that kernel is experimental by definition. hey, you're right! Every kernel comes with it's own hardware database! anyway.. As a side note, and one of the things I find quite amusing.. When my phone rings and Joe End User is calling with problem XYZ.. If I don't know the answer right away I get keywords from his question, go to goolge, do a quick search and most of the time I can find the answer.. be it for linux, unix, or m$.. we get questions on all of 'em and the answers are there. and _BOY_ are some customers amazed at how much I know.. or, is that, how much google knows.. =) the moral of the story is.. "google is your friend" now if I can only get openserver's pcmcia subsystem to talk to my thinkpad... hrm. --jim ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: Where's the LHD?
Well, it's not surprising that the LHD was one of them. Quite frankly, with the tight relationship with Microsoft they've had I was surprised to learn they even publish the word.

Then suddenly last week, the search engine began working again, but I noticed that there had been no new entries to the database in over a year.

Re: Where's the LHD?
I just pounded the search engine on zdnet and only found ONE reference to lhd for motherboards. Either the lhd has been chopped off of zdnet without so much as a statement or it's been hacked severely... Either way we're screwed.

I've been using http://lhd.zdnet.com. That used to bring up the hardware database at zdnet. Now it's a page listing commercial websites...
