Status

The site has reached the second phasis: reporting is working, analysis is working, we can now rate part of the component types and a search page is in place. We need help to validate that this is working correctly on the maximum of hardware and Linux flavors.

Help us by uploading the largest number of different systems!

  • Released collector v0.10.0:
    • Create a cron entry to periodically send a report in an anonymous way. It is sent only when something has changed. This is put in the lsb-hardware4linux-collector-auto.
