I agree with you about the hardware compatiblity list in Fedoraproject,
but on our list we put some informations for the end user to start the
Fedora installation (Example linux acpi=off, linux noprobe, ...) and to
finalize it (Example Wifi installation, use the correct screen resolution
with i915Resolution Software for Intel chipset, ...).
I work for a WW OEM and I have a lot of requests from the presale team
about the Fedora compatibility with own hardware plateforms.
If you need my support about a special english compatibility hardware
page, it's a great pleasure for me to help you on this special project.
