Dear Team, July 1st I became a user of linux for the first time, Debian Lenny now up and running very well. My criticsym of the OS is very fudemental, I wish to play encripted DVDs, there is no povision to do so!and no advice how to! Playing encripted DVDs is fundemental to any operating system. My second point why not provde a clear list of supported hardware? The printer list is comprehensive and fine, so what about the Film scanners , the flatbeds, and the webcams? I have spent hours searching for programs to drive the hardware that I own already, and none have any direct and obvious support. If you provided a list of hardware that will actualy work with Lenny, many more people would opt to use Linux. I am a user not a Geek or into UNIX or any other kind of systems. I do not wish to understand or bother myself with! As a user I expect to be able to use the operating system without any special knowledge, I can do this with Windows XP Professional and all my hardware works with it. You take the trouble to provide a printer list and no others. To me this is a good reason to go back to windows XP and say linux is useless to my friends and family dont bother with it as Linux does not provide the hardware support for your hardware already purchased. The point I am making is you should provide a list of equipment hardware that will work with Debian without any problems so one would be confident in making the purchase of hardware to work with Linux. Remember most of the public who use windows do not even know anything about programing, and just know if its windows most things work with it. So please provide a list and support this with the drivers needed to make the listed items work, then you will have a truely alternative OS to windows!
