The Linux Incompatibility List is a wiki site aimed to document hardware that is not compatible with Linux, counter to traditional listings of hardware that is (such as hardware compatibility lists), the thought being that so many things work with Linux that it's easier to track the few, new things that don't work than all the things that do. It is hoped that with time, as Linux becomes more mainstream, that the need for this list will eventually disappear altogether, but that probably won't be for a while.
It is hoped that the listing of hardware on the site could be used to promote companies and hardware that is compatible with Linux, and to encourage hardware manufacturers to consider further compatibility with Linux.
