Hi all,
Regarding the multiple questions about "does this laptop works with fedora?", that _should_ more often than the usual, we need to start a matrix hcl for laptops. To ease the introduction, this matrix should be filled from a form with some basic fields. I can start a draft for this if you all agree.

Hi Vitor.
I've already started setting up a project targeted in that direction, but it will be a little larger than only laptops.
The idea is to collect information about working and non working things for various distributions on as many different machines as possible. Laptops will be ofc a larger part in that, especially as there are oftentimes things in laptops that don't quite work as expected.
As soon as i have some more info i'll make a longer post here on the Laptop list and on fedora-devel.
Read ya, Phil

Great!

Right. This could be done at least in two diferent ways; 1) automated hardware discovery (thru anaconda, kudzu, script, etc) and then report (like Ubuntu hardware detection report) 2) user input (thru form page)
The first one gives us a more detailed (and it's the best) report, but there can be always some 'dissidents' that dont like this intrusive report. So #2 can be in handy for those that just want to say 'it works', and could be done without the need for a formal project.
As soon as i have some more info i'll make a longer post here on the Laptop list and on fedora-devel.
Need any help ? :)
