While this is true as in it does have essence of truth, lot of things work in
Linux, albeit not easily as in windows for the first go(very important, if it
works in linux it will keep working it your ISP damages itself by configuring
something stupid, unlike in windows) but broadband in linux works, for the
first time, about 50-60% of time and with efforts upto 80% of time..
Yes, and I guess that's the fun with Linux. These days, Linux seems to
support everything out of the box. It was a lot more fun when you had
to work real hard to make your devices work with Linux. I don't mind
the current state of affairs. But to get the same kind of kick, I put
FreeBSD on one of my boxes. But seems this is another kettle of fish
... still having fun.
