Would it be possible to set up a hardware compatability database where if your the distro works with your hardware you poke that in but if it doesn't you poke that in too along with the version etc.
I think that it would eventually flag up where the problems were aswell as being able (after a time) to tell people if the current release is compatable with their hardware 'cos 2.2gig is a big download.
If you like the idea i'll see what I can do about making a mock up.
