I would like to compile a "Hardware FAQ" for LINUX and 386BSD.  Please take a
few minutes to fill out the following survey regarding what hardware you are
currently using or have used in the past with LINUX and 386BSD.  If you don't
know the answer to a question, leave it blank.  The satisfaction questions are
intended to be somewhat open ended but answers might include both performance
and level of support from your OS.

Email the completed survey to me:  kuehn@citadel.scd.ucar.edu

If the response is good, I will compile and post the results to the net. 

Your participation is appreciated.
