GNU/Linux is a *free* operating system and it barely tolerates non-free binary-only drivers. Even so it is clearly possible to write such drivers in ways that don't tie them to specific kernel versions and specific distributions; the NVidia video card drivers are an example. If the manufacturer chooses not to properly support its products under GNU/Linux then you are better taking your business to a manufacturer that does. -- Frank Copeland Home Page: <URL:http://thingy.apana.org.au/~fjc/> Not the Scientology Home Page: <URL:http://xenu.apana.org.au/ntshp/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
