you may find stable device drivers for linux once your purchased hardware is a few years old and gets a little popular. hardware vendors may or may now support/provide device drivers for linux.
for now if you are simply "learning linux" and want a stable hardware to start with how about you install linux in a virtual machine instead and do all your testings and experiments on it. if you use vmware you can take snapshots of your system state for different times so that you can roll back to it from future. you may use the vmware linux desktop from windows as your real desktop and experiment on it as much as you want without having to worry about breaking the installation to useless because if anything breaks you can easily rollback to the state that was working in minutes and again continue to learn as it was your real desktop. continue to use internet and try out all you can get. this is the quickest way to learn. once you learn linux in details to solve most problems, by then you'd have learn enough to also likely solve your device driver compatibility problems with your linux. fixing such typical problem can be bit too much until you've learn it all about linux, really. but take this prospective positively... they say it na, parishrammmm ko faal mitho huncha ;) all the best with troubleshooting! -bipin --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ FOSS Nepal mailing list: foss-nepal@googlegroups.com http://groups.google.com/group/foss-nepal To unsubscribe, e-mail: foss-nepal+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com Community website: http://www.fossnepal.org/ -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
