I never said these were "kernel developer" problems. Just that if the Linux Community wants Average Joe User to move over then these are problems that will have to be solved so they "just work". Average Joe User doesn't want to jump through hoops to make it work. He just wants a computer that he can turn on and EVERYTHING works without hastles. Me personally, I made a decision to move over and deal with things as they come up. I have gotten my TV cards [ supported ] to work, off and on. It's just way less hastle to turn on a TV than fart around in Yast to get it to work every little bit. The WiFi card is "supported" but about every third or fourth time I turn it on the damned thing won't connect. Then I have to fart around with the setup to get it working again. Most of the time if I'm in the computer room I just plug in the cable. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
