RE: [newbie] Linux Hardware Database
I visited the zdnet hardware database at http://lhd.zdnet.com/ around Christmas and found that it had been hacked. Instead of the very helpful database (which I referred to a lot), there was a pic of a mostly nekkid lady plus the usual "w3 r l33t h@x0rz" language below it. Afterwards, the site seemed to go back and forth for a while between being completely down and being just a blank page, and now seems to be just plain gone. If the site was actually hosted on a MS server then perhaps it was just poetic justice, but if it was a Linux server... :( Try http://www.linuxhardware.org/. Content is a little lean right now, but hopefully it will get better. And of course Mandrake, Redhat, and Suse each maintain their own hardware compatability lists.

Sridhar: Are you aware of another Linux HCL? I sometimes refer to the Mandrake list, but sometimes its a good idea to get a second opinion. -- cmg On Thursday 09 January 2003 08:42 am, Sridhar Dhanapalan wrote: > Microsoft Apologist (and ZDNet editor) David Berlind took it down a while > ago. > > > On Thu, 9 Jan 2003 23:33:58 +1300, Michael Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > wrote: > > Has the ZDNet database moved or is it just down for two days now? > > > > -- > > Michael Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Maybe they're just trying to prove that linux users are going to find out the information they need anyways - with or without the help of ZDnet? (Wow - ZDnet ain't gonna help me no mo!

Re: [newbie] Linux Hardware Database
Microsoft Apologist (and ZDNet editor) David Berlind took it down a while ago.
