If anyone wants to try this again, please at least study what failed before and seriously reconsider the idea, it is something that I personally think can never be achieved, you will _always_ be playing catchup. >good luck, Perhaps can be tried in some wrong way. I am sure this is necessity, because the user is confused with the driver to use with a hardware. I would reduce it to Ethernet, WiFi, modem and graphics card database (what you need to minimally use and update a Linux box, with an internet connection to download and install packages) and to the latest kernel. It also could utilize a wiki (i.e. a Wikia ?) with GFDL license. Would you send links to the other projects?. Regards
