Re: [ubuntu-uk] Linux Comaptible Hardware
I noticed a little Tux on the back on my SanDisk flash drive packet and Linux under the system requirements bit. And of course it does work fine under Linux, except the all the U3 junk they come pre-installed with that is. Dave, There is a (sadly Windows only) utility that will remove the U3 stuff from the flash drive, I found it last week after a year of so of annoyance... Look for U3_Uninstall.exe I think it may be on U3 site... Lee -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Linux Comaptible Hardware
I've noticed recently that more hardware manufacturers are saying if their hardware works with linux lately? I can think of 3 examples: 1GiB pen maxell drive form asda (£7, bargain!) about a week ago. It said on the packet, requires windows 98 or later, mac os (insert an irrational number here) or linux 2.4 My friend got a new d-link USB wireless gadget, also about a week ago. It said on the box that it worked on linux. And work on linux it did. My school got a new printer. They left a label on it which boasted all of it's exciting new features. One was Postscript compatible - runs on linux and it had a picture of tux on it =] The ict staff still insisted on plugging it into a windows computer though =[ Has anyone else noticed this? -- Alec Wright [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

I've noticed it with one or two devices although not many yet but it's promising to say the least. I guess the thing to do is if you're after some hardware, buy the hardware which says it's compatible with Linux over something that doesn't say it is.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Linux Comaptible Hardware
snip Has anyone else noticed this? Just a thought - What about sending an email to the manufacturers of hardware which says on the packaging that it is compatible with Linux thanking them for making their item so useful.
