Hello,

Keep in mind that perhaps
over 95% of the users of linux distributions are -NOT- programmers.
Including me (if we don't writing control software for measurement
equipment in Pascal ;-) ). And AVM provided us with excellent support up
until now, at least from the users point of view. Would be sad to loose
it just because of some religious wars of kernel developers. It does not
mean, that I prefer binary only drivers, but having a binary only driver
is still much better, than no driver at all. Just as it's also
completely nonsense to use a Radeon 9250 just because it's the best 3D
video card with open source driver...
Perhaps it -IS- time to start looking at BSD.
Welcome on board :) I started to use FreeBSD before Linux even reached
1.0. It's great for old hardware, where SUSE does not even install due
to not enough memory. But with more open and closed source drivers in
Linux, you better stay with SUSE on recent hardware! Bye,
