Don’t use very old hardware? I thought one of Linux' selling points was that unlike Windoze Linux supported legacy hardware.
I'm using a 14 year old HP scanner fed by a Adaptec SCSI card even older. No need to change them out as long as they meet my needs. I was initially lured to try Ubuntu Hardy because of lack of Windoze Vista/Se7en drivers. To this day Ubuntu Lynx and its derivatives, Mint, Mepis, etc, have performed flawlessly. I agree with the warning about cutting edge hardware but a Linux strong suit is its solid support for old or recycled devices. Microsoft market strategy seems to be to conspire with hardware vendors to make hardware obsolete sooner than its lifespan or users needs require. On Wed, 2010-06-16 at 08:29 -0700, Patrick J.
