Okay, since I was the one that started this thread I guess I sort of Volunteered myself to do this. Some of you started going into actually using a real data base (I guess web based). Well, if I were to do this I'm pretty much limited to what my ISP's server can do (or let me do). Well, I'm and amatuer Perl hacker and maybe if I put enough thought to it I can try to write a CGI data base thingy using Perl. I have no clue on how to start this, but at least it would be a challege that would be worth my while. If there's anyone out there that can help me out with this, then please give me a hand. :) I was thinking of having some imput forms on a page that a user can input the brand, model number, and type of hardware (cdrom, hardrive, motherboard, etc) that is found to be compatible with FreeBSD. Although, I'm having trouble figuring how to sort it all out so that all the CDROM hardware can be together, and all the motherboard stuff can be together, and so forth. I guess the inputted stuff can be written to a file and then displayed as hardware.html or something like that. Any ideas anyone?
