This "If they don't know (or if they do know but cannot confirm 'foo') I don't buy" is a general rule I've been following since I switched to Linux many years ago. If I go out shopping for a complete machine I always have current Linux cd/stick with me to test the modell on location. If they don't let me test I don't buy. If they confirm "works with Linux" and it doesn't I send it back (which I have done a couple of times). As easy as that. Of course this may mean that you may not get that "extra cheap special offer". -- wobo
