No, because it's just a wiki entry, and there's no way to check how it
has been written. A well established process needs to be written
(comparable to the Red Hat one that Ritesh wrote later in this thread).

Yes, I was referring to h-node. I've been told multiple times that
h-node was the HCL for Debian. First, the site is really ugly, and
doesn't look serious. Then when you click on hardware, there's a list of
"stuff" (scanners, webcams, etc.) but ... no servers! This really looks
like laptop oriented to me.
