Scott - You are totally accurate in your comment. This guy doesn't say Linux is bad, Linux doesn't work, ...... He says for him it is in the same stage of development today as was NT4 when he tried it. He has not placed a VALUE on it, but rather identifies a MAJOR problem with Linux today, even if he doesn't say so in exact words, and that is a lack of hardware support FROM THE VENDORS. And it's oh so true. Just like it was for NT4 when many of us were forced at work tousle it as a desktop OS. I think he has written a good piece and it is something we all need to try and help solve by putting pressure on any vendor with strong requests for Linux drivers. Every time I talk to a vendor / manufacturer I put in a STRONG request for Linux support. If we all did that more I think we could help this situation along in our favor. We are getting closer and closer every month but there is still a long way to go. In essence, let's not kill the messenger who says what is true; let's instead work for better hardware support, and I'm not talking about it being the responsibilities of the distro manufacturers. dave Scott Leighton wrote:

Not really, he's dead on right. I agree with him 100%.
