Tom. see my response on this. I am sorry, your attitude is a major reason
linux has never had a major amount of commercial market share (and as long
as the linux vendors have this same attitude, commercial users will stay
away in droves). I'm not trying to flame anyone here, but if my Foobar
CDROM worked in rev 6.1, there is no excuse for it suddenly not working in
Rev 7.0 (unless it is something that was explicitly deprecated). This kind
of nonsense happens all the time in the linux world (and is the major
reason the ISP I work with switched from linux to freebsd 2 years ago).
