Create/Find Hardware Reviews
Another release, another round of hardware that's never touched Linux having its virgin run. Also a lot of people going "but will my hardware work?" Please, please, take 15-30 minutes out of your day and review your hardware somewhere—or in more than one somewhere.Here are some suggestions:
Hardware Testing - At the very least do this one. It's built into Ubuntu. On Gutsy, it's in Applications -> System Tools. In Hardy, System -> Administration -> Hardware Testing. It'll run you through a few tests, asked if it worked, and ask for comments, then it submits the info to the Ubuntu devs using your Launchpad login. I don't think this is something that publicizes the results for easy shopping. The others all do.
Linux on Laptops - If you're a laptop user, take a look. Is your model listed? Is it up to date? If the answer to either question is "no," please submit the information. You can either make a webpage (they have a template) and send them a link or send the info as an attachment.
UbuntuHCL - Sign up and add your parts to their online database. It lets you filter the listing in lots of nice ways to look up info before making a purchase. One thing I like is that the results show a listing of parts with their average rating so you can take a nice list to the store.
Dohickey - Dohickey has a nice graphical client that asks you how well your hardware works, how hard it was to get working, etc. after auto-detecting what it all is. It then submits your results to its database which anyone can browse to find out what parts work well and easily, just like with UbuntuHCL.
Ubuntu Wiki - Lots of pages where you can add info, drilling down into the different categories of hardware. There are listings for prebuilt desktops, laptops, and individual parts.
