Understood Jerry. 
Is there a way that the Hardware Database can become more user friendly. A potential newcomer to Linux is unlikely to know their system components. They will however know their computer brand and it model number. Feeding this into the database at the moment is unlikely to help them. i.e if you type Dell for example into the search field you don't get all the dell models loaded coming up for you to scan.
Purpose to help the prospective newcomer answer the question "Will LL work for me?" i.e encourage them to give it a try
Or have I missed something?
Tks.
