It is a great idea. About the only thing that would be nice about it, is if someday there could be something like it for other pieces of hardware too. For instance DVD/CD burners come to mind. This is a very common question on the lists and something I think many people search on. I for one try to search the lists/google when buying new hardware to see what has worked for others. This, in my opinion, will be great for mobile users. I think for the most part most motherboards outthere, single CPU, probably work with FreeBSD. Laptops however is probably a totally different game.
