   Seems like a contradictory statement to me Sridhar ?  I believe many 
Lusers aren't payin _enough_ _attention_ to the "GNU/Linux hype". 
Particularly the difference between open and closed source software and 
hardware. Specially those just tryin Linux, but even some more 
experienced users, don't know, care, or understand that closed source 
software and hardware can't and never can be supported for Linux  .... 
and why. That's it's often disappointing and even dangerous to try to.
