Just because you might own one doesn't make it good, just that you made the same mistake many other people did in their decision making process for buying hardware.
Yeah, fork you, too. I made the choice I did for my own reasons, which are valid by definition. I did not make a mistake, I have an excellent system based on the Asus P5B. ========
Wow, Randell, do you often get so mad when you realize you've made a mistake? Maybe you were trying to save money, maybe you just felt you could live with the problems associated with their hardware. Just because you made a poor choice though shouldn't stop others from being alerted to the potential problems they might encounter making equally bad decisions.
He doesn't have to discard his hardware purchase because of a few problems, that seems very illogical on your part to mention that, but he will have to live with the problems associated with his decision in choosing bad hardware to use with Linux.
You're the one that suggested that he invalidate his existing purchase. To wit:
"Probably one of the best things you could do is stop using ASUS products." ========
I don't read anything in that line that suggests getting rid of his already purchased hardware, are you senile? But I hope it does suggest to him and others to make better hardware purchasing decisions for future purchases.
In any event, their hardware isn't "bad," some of its components are merely unsupported at this time.

No, their hardware works quite nicely with Windows, most times, but I suspect even like their older hardware, the new would fail even if drivers were there for the bleeding edge stuff. It has in the past, it will in the future until Asus manufactures better hardware. Sorry you didn't understand that before buying.

BandiPat, Maybe you should draft a list of hardware that, in your expert opinion, we should all be buying and publish it in a blog somewhere. Hey, the "everyone-is-entitled-to-my-opinion-and-i-am-an-expert-and-asus-is-crap.com" domain is available! Just a curiosity. What hardware do YOU buy that works so wonderfully all of the time? Don't keep the secret to yourself.
