true... it's a case of whatever turns them on though... most are too scared of open source to take it seriously (and don't realise that in hardware land the two are often very similar). > By the same token, we can buy hardware from more accommodating vendors. accommodating vendors get 'out of the box' support. partially accommodating vendors (those who provide code under restrictive licenses, specs under nda's, etc.) get support with the (proposed) 'usb-firmware' package(s), and the rest get nothing. simple. - samj Richard Braakman -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
