The statement meant that new h/w keeps coming up every few weeks or
months and by the time one gets the time to experiment and finalise the
drivers, a new h/w upgrade is out.
The experimenting should be done by the big Linux distro makers and
provide a set of OS and driver CDs for a reasonable price.
Alternatively, the distro makers could have a section on their website
called "Build your own PC" where they provide full
processor+mobo+peripherial combinations that can be purchased from the
local market and atleast these hardwares should be fully detected by the
distro itself without extra driver support or provide the updated
drivers on their own website as a package.

Rony.
