If you could read my mail fully, I just said I didn't have any
issues with Debian for any of my my new hardware. Did I anywhere
mention that Debian supports everything under the sun. It didn't
support your stuff, I agree. but just the same way that is a fact, my
statement that it supported my hardware is a fact. I can't take it
back just because you want me to.
For some facts, It has supported my modem, digital camera,
mobile phone out-of-box. Thank you.
