Exactly, this is what I do everytime I want to buy anything new. Originally, my supplier had NO IDEA what Linux was and over the past 2-3 years that I have been insisting on Linux compatible hardware he has learnt a lot about it. And believe me, many of his clients ( corporate ) have now started to insist on Linux compatible hardware so the message is getting through to even the local vendors and eventually to the big companies ;). -- Regards, Dinesh A.
