Some Linux distributions are requesting permission after an install to send
a hardware profile to their official site .

By collecting and using such profile values  a data base may be constructed
by FreeBSD .

By studying that data base FreeBSD users may get information about next
hardware selections .

When an installation detects a problem  about a  hardware part it may also
be sent to that data base to  evaluate  to its  reasons .

Hardware manufacturers may check that data base  for possible  utilization
of data  for their  next product designs .

That data base may be an incentive to hardware producers to  support FreeBSD
and be known   by FreeBSD users .

Thank you very much .
