Too bad that LSB (Linux Standards
Base, choose your version) has not really caught fire so that hardware level drivers could be "cross distribution."
but the hardware driver *are* cross distribution compatible, by nature is they are opensource
Just being Opensource doesn't mean drivers will work on all distros. And using Nvidia as an example, drivers are not opensource but written/available for Linux and depending on which distro you may want to use them determines how much of a head stand you may have to do to get them to work. Network Card, particularly wireless, is a real roll of the dice as to which distro they may work "out of the box." Just the state of the world we work in. -Clint -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
