Gene, oops, yes, I meant the reply to you! I've also been using linux for 4 years, and I know enough to figure things out - I don't need step-by-step instructions (although they certainly help!). Having said that, I use Ubuntu precisely because it doesn't force me to become an O/S expert - but I'm still free to tinker with the bits I find interesting.
I'll continue to try out betas and submit bugs related to my hardware - it's in my interest after all! I would like to be able to build and test patches running from the beta cd, not installed, as I also don't have a spare testing machine or unlimited bandwidth. I don't know if that's even possible. cheers, Matt On Sun, Mar 30, 2008 at 4:10 AM, Gene Caldwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Matt, > Correct me if I'm wrong here but I think you meant your address to me, not > to Alexander.
