[ubuntu-in] Hardware compatibility list for Ubuntu in India

[shirish]

HI all,
 I have been recently looking for a list of hardware as well as
laptops which work with GNU/Linux Ubuntu .  I found the wiki which has
some details listed  at
http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/Hardware_Compatibility as well as
http://www.ubuntu-in.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Laptops . The last time both the
wiki pages were updated were on 15th April 2k7 and 15th May 2k7
respectively. Its almost a yr. and lot of water has passed under the
bridge since then.
   I have few suggestions :-

1. On the laptops make the table have couple of more columns  one
which states which particular version of Ubuntu was tested against
that model, and the second would be a relative price-tag/street price
so people have atleast some idea as to at what prices can the hardware
be bought.

2. The hardware list given should go through a thorough review as I'm
sure newer versions of the Linux kernel 2.6.24-16 as of this writing
would have had better support for far more devices.

3. Are there any hardware-vendors who have or are thinking of having a
GNU/Linux service support team. That would make a big difference to an
everyday user rather than people like us who just like to tinker/fool
around and do have time to see what works and what doesn't. ;)

Comments, suggestions, improvements and flames all are welcome ;)
