(Chris?) as for getting a link on the ports page, i suppose you have to talk to debian-www about that, getting debian pages updated seems to have been a somewhat slow process at the very least, which is one major reason why i don't think we should bother trying to keep such a hardware list there. besides the fact that a distro indepenent one is probably possible and would make more sense. -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
