It would be really cool to see penguin logos on hardware :) I had another, probably crazy idea. Would it be possible to utilize the current vendor/device PCI ID database to create Linux friendliness matrix site? And if you let yourself get carried away, you can also imagine a little multi-platform utility. It would run on a test system collecting PCI IDs before submitting them to the site to get the system's overall Linux friendliness rating. In cases where the system contains devices which do not have entries in the database, the system could look up and use the vendor's Linux friendliness rating. Something like that could really help end users to select the right system and would reward those who do the right thing.
