      I am yet to create a repository for the project. Start a project repository in sourceforge.net with basic project concept description and design. Sorry, been hell busy. This is neither "my" project, neither yours. Just team effort.

      So, Lets begin....... :)

      Populate vendor URL from the internet

      Search the Internet or various linux vendor website (Fedora Core, FreeBSD, Ubuntu, OpenBSD etc) to get URLs where they list linux/bsd compatible hardware for their platform. Also google for any reliable third party websites that maintains linux hardware compatible DB.

      Search for a similar OSS poroject.

      Does such a project already exist? sourceforge.net, freshmeat.net ? I dont think so....... But google it anyways.
