However i think we should have something that distinguishes between OSS and binary blob drivers. Hardware suppliers that do not support Linux should not even be listed.

Basic traffic lights is simplest? > Regards from > Tom :) As I expressed I think we need one that express full support from the manufacturer. And it should be put on the box so we can easily distinguish it in the store.

It would also be good if they can have an office. Also as this is Linux some LoCo:s may be able to perform Tier 3 support. -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
