Unfortunately, there are no video card companies (AFAIK) that actually support the free software community. > I want the best possible support for my OS so my money goes to the companies > that work hard to give me that support. You are equating "open source community" with "Linux community". The two are not the same. The reason I use a Linux-based OS is because it is free software. If it were not, I would be using something running a BSD kernel. > Im not much of a gamer, but I still bought UT2003, 04, and Doom3 so these > companies would see that we WILL buy games if they are produced. Those games are licensed immorally. It is irrelevant that they run on OS that are licensed morally. If they want me to buy their games, they can sell them with a moral license. -- Luke-Jr Developer, Utopios http://utopios.org/ -- [email protected] mailing list
