Well see, that's what I mean. There's hardware that is great on Windows, but
there just aren't any drivers for it in Linux. Or sometimes the second best
hardware for Windows ends up being the best option for Linux simply because
the drivers are more complete. I'm looking for a site that specifically seeks
out the best hardware for Linux just like CNet's Computers.com attempts to
seek out the best hardware for Windows. I'd rather not have to sign up to a
mailing list for each type of hardware just to find out what my best buying
options are. Of course it's very possible that I'm just dreaming and such a
site doesn't exist yet.
