-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Ping,
You are of course right, there are other matters playing a part in this as well and I agree that what you call "freedom" is what makes Linux so great for me. Although I would like to refer to it as "flexibility"... :) However, the point of my colleague was that his laptop is his working material. He cannot affort to spend lots of time messing with his operating system or drivers - he just wants to install something and it works! My point was that you _can_ do this with the current version of Ubuntu as it is. For me, most of the stuff worked out of the box and the rest is just compiling some modules. So to have a fair competition, since everybody knows how stuff is being installed in Windows but not how it is in Linux, I would set it up and see how long it would take me. Well, long story cut short, he now said it is too much messing around for him. Kernel modules and driver compilation and installation is nothing he wants to be bothered with. Thus he's back to Windows. As for your question, I will download the source and have a look at it. Since I am pretty tight on time at the moment, being in a big project and all I don't know if I can squeeze in some time, but I for sure want to try... :) Che [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Che, > > Your signature makes me think :).
