My impression is that Linksys gear is more non-standard than some other companies in the home networking market. But that is just my impression. Though I won't be surprised if any company's home networking offerings doesn't play nice with another company. -P Checkout One Laptop Per Child project

Re: [CGUYS] Upgrade Ubuntu Studio Feisty to Gutsy?

Don't take my word as gospel but Gutsy is both, according to the Linux Action Guys, a standout distro and really easy (comparatively) for installing (available) proprietary drivers. If you could get it with Fiesty, I would be really surprised if you can't get it Gutsy and in even a more automa
