Hello, Is there a supported hardware database for Fedora Core? I haven't seen one, and I believe it would be extremely useful for people who are possibly migrating/moving/switching to Fedora from windows to know which hardware will work out of the box. I don't currently have any progamming skills (apart from website related programming, php for example) so I would be very happy to set-up and maintain such a database.
Let me know what you think, and tell me if I'm wrong if there is a database ;)
Thanks, Philip Johnson (PlasticMonkey)

my litte bug/rfe - database :-)
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117048 hcl database is incomplete
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=117055 [RFE] a tool for searching a/o updating the hcl database would be great

Heh :)
Granted, but what about a database that was specific to Fedora Core? Some pieces of hardware on there aren't too happy when it comes to fedora :D For example one or two pieces of hardware on there that I've seen listed don't always work straight away... they need fiddling with first :) - so in my opinion it isn't brilliant :D
Point taken however :)

Aurora uses a wiki, it seems well adapted to such a project.

And there's nothing stopping folk from using: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/
for their uses in starting a simple HCL database
