>I think the non server Linux community needs a reference device. Currently, as it stands, you'd need 10,000+ 'reference' devices to match what's in use and to wait several years for them to fall out of use if you want that to be a lower number. Even Chromebooks, which are largely based on specific boards for several models, have a few hundred reference boards that would need to be specifically supported.
