The database of hardware

Please register your computer by https://wiki.debian.org/Hardware/Database if you want to contribute to the hardware database and plot statistical report like this Ubuntu report for MX Linux.

At the moment the database for MX includes only 22 occasional computers. Once it reaches a significant size, it will be possible to generate the report and save it to a git repository.

Thanks.

EDIT: The hw-probe package can now be installed from the http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo/. You can install it by MX Package Installer / MX Test Repo.

acpica-tools is available in the Buster repo.

However, seems strange that Debian is encouraging people to install non-stable-repo software (hw_probe) in order to collect this info. Why not make hw_probe available in the stable repo? This from the people who brought you https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

Debian has hw-probe 1.4 in Sid, so I'll see about backporting it.

Edit: OK, sending to test repo, but can be downloaded and installed early: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1DGxXw ... rhSzeuRE9c

acpica-tools is also available in the Stretch repo.

But, yes that does seem strange.

My opinion on all this is that it constitutes a terrific hardware resource for MX, and that I hope people will make use of it. I added my personal machine and the whole process was quick and impressive.

Sure beats a Wiki entry...
