Well, like I said the vast majority of Win9X only hardware works very poorly
even in Win9x and the majority of hardware that works well under NT (which
most reviewers will at least mention) also works well under Linux.

I've never been very impressed with those types of sites and certainly
wouldn't take their recomendataions too seriously even if I were only
interested in Windows.

No need to sign up for anything, virtually all mailing lists are archived
and in many cases the big search engines such as deja will carry them as
well.  While your over at deja you can check out both the Linux news groups
as well as groups specific to the hardware you are looking for.  I guarentee
the folks over in alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.abit know far more about the
latest Abit motherboard (for example) than any reviewer Cnet has to offer.
