No.  The web is littered with an ever expanding number of 'this hardware
works with linux' sites.  Worse still many of the don't date the material
so you don't know if it was written last week or 2 years ago nor do they keep
it up to date.  It would be better to identify a few good (popular
, well used and therefore up to date) such sites and add then rather than
start a new one.
If a few such sites can be found then referencing those from the web site would
be worth while.


Have fun,
