Dear Arun;
The inputs I have from the net suggest that vendors do not release
Linux drivers; the open community does not have the resources to write
them. Does this mean with the new range of hardware will force a
re-look at the way open source addresses these issues?
I woudld be grateful for a suggested hardware composition. I concur
with your last paragraph! By the by the latest HP suggests touchscreen
is the way to go for a Desktop. Interesting!!
