I am sure that you will be happy to supply verifiable documentation to support your claims. As for the the quality of the "hardware", that would be solely dependent on the devices manufacturer. The drivers are obviously coded in a fashion that allows the device to operate in its environment. Any further discussion is impossible without defining some specific parameters. The basic problem is that open-sore users are by and large suffering from a "sour grapes" philosophy. It is a common "school yard" phenomena; however, it is usually outgrown at some time in an individuals lifetime. However, unfortunately, that is not written in concrete either. "Tempora mutantur", however with the exception of Ubuntu the rest of the open-sore community, to various degrees, continue to stagnate. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
