> Nick Moving towards a "modern" computers one will have problems with supported hardware. Maybe some desktops are ok, but what can you do about laptops. There is no documentation and manufactures are pushing all kinds of crazy shits like fake RAID, UEFI, ACPI, etc. New software is pressing for new hardware too. There is a stupid movement for browsers too: W3C approves and is trying to make a strandard for any shit you can bring inside a browser. Developers are following - who would want users to leave because "X" browser doesn't support "Y" feature. This rush has only one 'benefit', more money for harware manufacturers' pockets. I let the people with more experience to anticipate and describe the future. Thanks.
