You just should consult the vendors website (in our case www.hp.com/linux) to see if the system is supported (means working with Linux). Of course this isn't valid for every vendor :(. I would also like that to be seen at all these third-party vendors for cd-burners, tv-cards and the like. But it's a long road to get there. > With the universal recognition and use of Linux as an operating > system, it seems strange that you don't see components or a whole > computer clearly identified as fully suitable for Linux even though > it may have MS Windows installed. This leaves you right now (if you really wanna be sure about that) to pre-installed systems or certified ones. bye mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
