Apps may get there, but drivers for video cards, sound cards, etc. is a friggin nightmare without end! Here you have some very nice and technically skilled programmers that are trying to play catch up with commercial products. On sites like <http://dri.sourceforge.net/>, they openly state not to ask about when there will be driver support for x or xx card! This unfortunately will not change in the foreseeable future, as far as I am concerned, unless the business model for Linux changes drastically. Difficulty in finding a videocard on the local market that has Linux drivers is close to what we in the old days on the Mac OS called "SCSI Voodoo". I am so fed up with this "Linux Driver Voodoo" that I am regretting having started on my Linux box project at all! As I haven't purchased any hardware yet, maybe I will just buy one of those new "Luxor" iMacs and be done with it! Cheers, Brian
