Maybe in the future you could do reviews on things like digital cameras, joysticks, and the like. You know - something besides boards (motherboards, video cards, etc.) - there are tons of sites that already do that stuff. You need to find a niche. It would be really cool if you reviewed hardware for use with the Linux OS! Hardware reviewers all do Windows exclusively
I've never found a good comprehensive place to find out what works well and what does not work so well using Linux - you know, someone doing actual reviews. The hardware compatibility how-tos that I have seen are not so good and some are dreadfully out of date. Just a thought.
As for avatars, I understand some of the problems and headaches involved. I think we can live without them for a while
As far as how-to's and the like, I don't know if I'm knowledgable enough in Linux yet for that big step. I can try to help people with individual problems (like I just posted in the Operating Systems Forum) with specific distros but the hardware thing is tough. Hardware is pretty touchy in Linux. I did manage to get my ATI Radeon 8500LE working with the newly released drivers though. Boy was that a pain in the @$$. I just got it working this past weekend so I don't know yet if it's stable or not. I should know in the next 2 or 3 weeks. It does display some pretty 3D though 
And the games look pretty good. Once I'm sure it's OK I might be able to write some kind of procedure up for it but I'm sure some of the specific steps will only apply to the SuSE 8.0 distro. I just don't know where I'd host it.
As I said, my knowledge is not exactly expert on the subject, but I learn more and more every day. Linux users really need a place to get up to date info and to ask questions of other Linux users (and gurus 
I should have modified that link myself. but you got to it first.
