The only company I know that actively does not support Linux for its hardware is Cannon. Most other h/w is supported, & most h/w ihas drivers on the actual Install Discs. It is possible to load Mandrake 9.0 on most hardware, & actually get it running with only 1 restart, in about 15 mins on a fast computer with a DVD. (CD's take longer due to disc swaps etc.) Don't talk about it - go & try it! Doug (Currently I am buying an Ipaq PDA, & intend to load Linux on that.)
