Speaking of the Redhat-HCL, is the certified hardware db on RHN

looking from the wrong end, and should really be looking for
chipsets instead of motherboard brands and preferrably whole
systems instead of single components?
This is my own opinion and not anything from Red Hat, so take it FWIW.

I will do so. 8-)
It is probably much easier and more preferable to certify a complete
system than individual components. As an example, a specific Asus
motherboard may work perfectly when combined when certain other
hardware, but may not work correctly if certain other components are
correct. Combine that with the fact that (in my experience) I.T. folks
would generally be buying complete servers for running their operations
(as opposed to building their own) and it probably works out better for
Red Hat, hardware vendors, and us customers.
<grin> I agree, but what if you want to build your own monster-workstation
with high-end components? None of the brand-names in the industry (Dell, HP
whatever) are that well-known for providing really fast stuff. So I'm left
with building my own machine(s). Granted, I found some usable hcl-lists on
linuxquestions.org but that doesn't feel that official, just some geek's word
for it, that it will work. Know what I mean? 8-]
How do you guys do it? Only brandnames in the server-room and on the desks?
