The Linux Foundation yummies

[Thomas Charron]

  Not only that, but in a way, this is almost like 'Linux Certified',
similar to windows hardware having the windows logo.

  I'd love to see them also add a program where kernel devs could evaluate a
driver to make sure it works 'as it should'.

  Would go a long way to having an entity looking out for the 'good of
linux' like Microsoft can, without bias towards a given commercial entity.
