Create a "works with Ubuntu" logo for hardware

Written by marvo the 3 Mar 08 at 12:39. Category: Others. Related to: Nothing/Others. Implemented

Whenever users plan to buy new hardware for their ubuntu machines, they first have to search the web to find informations about kernel/driver support or incompatibility issues.

It would be really helpful if a sticker on the outside of the box of a scanner/printer/usb-dvb-tuner/mp3(ogg)-player/digicam/... simply said "works with ubuntu" or "designed for GNU/Linux" to guarantee that the product runs "out of the box" with Ubuntu or other Linux distributions.

To try and reach the average computer user, give away Ubuntu CDs at the check-out in mega-stores.

Because sometimes things don't sound like nearly as good an idea when you've thought on it a while. :-)
