I think SuSE does write drivers. Several people have commented to me that they
went to SuSE because they needed the drivers for their stuff. One of the main

Besides, since it's open source, any of these big guys could put a small team of
programmers on a driver for a couple of weeks. No, there's more to this Red
Hat revolution than meets the eye.
