--- Begin Message ---Dear Matthew, Thank you for taking the time to email us. I have passed on your email to the Open Source team. I know that there are plans to greatly improve the way that Linux is supported and feedback such as yours is helpful and listened to.

I've noticed that you have only made available your drivers for the "popluar" or better yet, "well known" Linux distrobutions. I myself and others like myself do not use these other distrobutions of Linux. I've looked on your website for the source of your drivers and read the forums to find out you have removed the sources. My first question would be why? Is it not important for the Linux Community to support these drivers, apply and submite patches, and help debug these drivers with you? With newer version of the Linux Kernel and compilier (GCC3) should you not allow the Linux Community to test these drivers agenst them? Myself and others like me who use your chipsets on our motherboards would greatly appreciate the your cooperation in this matter as most of use are having problems with using these boards with your chipsset in them. Thank you for your understanding, -- Mathew Leland Alexander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
