The Linux Laptop Volunteer Support Database is an attempt to match those
people who use the Linux operating system on notebook or laptop computers and
who wish to give back to the Linux community and help other users with those
people who have questions, problems, or concerns about getting Linux running
on their mobile computers. The basic idea is that volunteers can leave their
name, e-mail address, and the brand name and model of the laptop or notebook
computer they are familiar with and are willing to answer questions about, and
those with problems or questions can look up others with equipment similar to
theirs who are willing to help. In the spirit that helped bring Linux about,
this is an entirely volunteer service that can hopefully help fill a few
holes in support for linux on notebooks and laptops.
The service is available through the World Wide Web and can be accessed with
any forms-capable browser. Just point your favorite web browser to:
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/volunteer.html
I highly encourage those who are already using Linux on their notebooks or
laptops to sign up - the value of the service to the Linux community grows
with the number of volunteers and the variety of hardware represented.
