I want to know if it works without downloading drivers directly from the manufacturer. And if the drivers are free or non-free software or binary only. And if using the recommended drivers requires modifying your kernel, or if certain distributions include them for people who don't care to or aren't interested in recompiling their kernels and applying patches. And if the Linux drivers support the same features that drivers for other OSes do. And if not, which features are NOT implemented for Linux users.

Great, thanks for the feed back! I will talk to the site owner... However, if we pursue this, we will need to ask for someone's time to help us with these tests, or at least teach us how... currently none of us on the site are avid linux users... I am working a 6-month internship this semester in St. Louis.. otherwise I would be at the TSLUG meetings... I plan on attending the meetings again starting in January. If anyone is interested in donating their time to teach me how to test your requests, please let me know. My fiance is in Kirksville now, so I visit her every few weeks... so I would be more than happy to bring a video card up and have someone help me learn to test those linux features some weekend. Also... what do I need to do again to add a different email address to the mailing list... I would like to add [EMAIL PROTECTED] because it is easier for me to check that email since my IE is broken (won't display popup windows at all, so I use Opera to check my truman email through pipeline... and of course there are bugs... not trying to bring up a known sore spot though). Thanks again! -Justin West Donald J Bindner wrote: On Wed, Oct 08, 2003 at 02:51:18PM +, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I want to know if it works without downloading drivers directly from the manufacturer.

I am working a 6-month internship this semester in St. Louis.. otherwise I would be at the TSLUG meetings... I plan on attending the meetings again starting in January. There are several LUGs that meet in St. Louis. At least one a week. My personal favorite is ArchLUG (http://www.archlug.org/), but currently doesn't hold meetings, being a sort of meta-group right now and still in the process of forming. For meatspace meetings, my favorite is MOSLUG, but they just had their meeting last night - your timing is terrible! g In St. Charles, there's the STCLUG, and Hazelwood has a newbie LUG, HZLUG. The SILUG meetings in O'Fallon are nice too. Check http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stllug/cal for the details on a number of area LUGs, and sign up to the group if you want automatic email reminders. There's a List-O-Links there too. Mike/ - http://www.valuenet.net - To get off this list, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe -

Another thought I just had that we would need a lot of help with... If you noticed, we have the AMD Athlon 64 FX-51 system on our test bench... if interested, we have the equipment to do a review of the FX-51 on a 64-bit Linux platform... but, as I mentioned, we would have to be taught how to do this. -Justin Justin West wrote: Great, thanks for the feed back!
