My thanks to Jens.. This is brilliant.
Yes i'm quite aware we beat Mac/Windows intially, and don't worry i'm a long time Linux user and developer, but Linux does still fall down when you want a "minor" tweak like a new device driver or crmrw support on an older system compared with Windows/Mac
Yeah I agree, it could be a lot easier. With 2.6 based distros, at least the cd-mrw issue will work out of the box.
Mind due saying this I have had to reinstall both Mac and Windows machines from time to time due to a bad device driver install corrupting libraries etc.. So much for the wonderful world of driverless devices.
At least it's getting better than it was 5 years ago... No the biggest problem is devices that don't adhere to the standards :-) -- Jens Axboe
