Am I the only one who believes in not purchasing hardware that isn't directly supported by the manufacturer for linux, and as a the last possibility, not even supported by OSS drivers? You're saying a company ditching linux support means that people have to scramble to appease the company? I demand the opposite. I use Linux, and I demand they appease me by providing Linux drivers. If they don't, I won't use there hardware. And I don't mean I won't use their hardware on a Linux machine. I mean I _won't_ use their hardware. Joseph M.
