Canonical announces a component catalog for Linux

Wow, the data in this database is *terrible*. It's like nobody ever looked at it before putting it up on the web.

On the list of manufacturers, it has no less than 3 Suns, 4 Dells, and numerous other such duplicates. Then, there's the large numbers of items which don't have names (only PCI IDs...), and thus no link to the detailed information. (Well, list of containing systems at least).

They really need to get an intern to spend a day or two cleaning up the data...
