The snotty answer is http://lists.debian.org/users.html but what you
probably want is something like these:
http://www.debian-administration.org/
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/debian-26/

Interesting sites but not what I am looking for, they have nothing like:
http://www.linux-laptop.net/
I have solved my problems - about 2 years to become MS free on a Dell Dimension
4100 followed by about 2 months for a Dimension p133v, 2 weeks for a HP nx9105
and about 3 days for each for a F-S Scenic eD and a GeForce6100SM-M based
machine. It saved a fair bit of time with the nx9105 to be able to get a
.config from Linux on Laptops.
So I would pass the information on if there was a suitable repository (not just
post it somewhere on a mailing list). I do have a memory of seeing a list
somewhere of machines that Debian had been used on, but I have not been able to
find it.
