This I agree with. One of the reasons for using linux is so that hardware
does not need to be obsoleted but this is the price we pay for using
mandrake. No matter how we look at it mandrake is more or less a drop in
replacement for windows nt/2000/xp server. At least 2000/and xp which offer
simmilar features are really horible about supporting older hardware. As far
as this goes mandrake has much better hardware support. With but a few
acceptions.
Yes those xfree guys should do a better job.
