Description Juan Ramón Molina Menor 2015-01-15 09:54:31 UTC 
The first link to an external laptop database provided in the article "FreeBSD on Laptops" (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/laptop/) is broken, and has been for a long time: http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/

This article is very well referenced in search engines and the impression to a newcomer is bad, so I suggest removing the link.

Do you know of any comparable links to this one?
Comment 2 Allan Jude freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2015-01-28 21:02:50 UTC 
This is likely the best thing you'll find for now

I have scoured the entire Internet, and reached the end. After a complete analysis, it appears this is going to be the best resource. Thanks, Allan.
