o i see.... so just for my information, please correct me if i'm wrong.... linux
doesn't need drivers for every devices... i mean, for example, the monitor... (based
from what i have seen in the setup for redhat 7.1) linux just needs the horizontal and
vertical sync, and presto!!!!???? no drivers needed for every brand and model of
monitor??? and for other devices such as printer, it doesn't need a driver for a
specific brand and model... all it needs is the pins and resolution???? and for the
modem, in case i decided to buy a new external modem, it's literally plug&play???? at
ganito rin sa iba pang devices???? is that how powerful linux is???? if so, talagang
di na uso ang mga drivers ngayon!!!!! salamat naman.... thanks for the info, and
thanks to linux!!!!!! this is really a very good o.s.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and super
COOL too....... tuloy, patagal ng patagal, lalo kong nagugustuhan ang linux!!!!! =)
