Canonical announced a few minutes ago, February 10th, that it just made publicly available its entire database of certified hardware components for Linux and Ubuntu, for the first time. This will rapidly reduce the time-to-market for ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) working on Linux or Ubuntu systems.

Canonical's catalogue includes over 1,300 certified hardware components from 161 manufacturers. This is definitely the the biggest and up-to-date list of Linux-compatible hardware components available.

With Canonical's database of certified components, corporate buyers will be able to specify the design of their Ubuntu workstations and servers from manufacturers much more efficiently.

With Canonical's database of certified components, individuals will be sure that the hardware components they are considering to buy will work with their favorite Ubuntu or Linux operating system.

With Canonical's database of certified components, the server and PC industry will have a simple and single source to promote the work that they do in certifying Linux hardware components and also making that knowledge freely available worldwide.
