Plenty of resources are already available on the net. However these are mostly about hardware available in the US and Europe. Hardware available here are substantially different and for shorter durations. So it is a constant battle to keep finding out the best fit for linux. Further given the very random and one time requirements of desktop users, their unwillingness to understand the soup they are in and reluctance to change, supporting individual newbie desktops is a major pain. Hardware compat is a minor issue. File formats and user apathy are the main problems. -- Rgds JTD -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
