[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI/Illumos HCL

[MATTHEW WILBY]

Hi,

I know it's early days, but what's the possibility of getting an HCL (Hardware 
Compatibility List) page setup on the OI website? This would give community 
members a chance to provide information on what works and what does not, and 
perhaps share experiences on how to fix/tune certain components specific to that 
hardware.

With Openindianna moving away from the original Opensolaris code base sooner or 
later the original HCL will start to become out of date. While I don't expect OI 
to maintain a list of 'certified hardware' (yet) if the distribution is going to 
penetrate production environments such a site would prove useful, rather than 
the suck it and see approach at the moment. Might also take some of the load off 
the bug submission etc.

For information, Opensolaris has been removed from the main Sun/Oracle HCLpage 
(http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/) but is still accessiblehere 
(http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/os/).

Just a thought.....

Happy new year.

Matt
