You just should consult the vendors website (in our case www.hp.com/linux) to see if the system is supported (means working with Linux). Of course this isn't valid for every vendor :(. I would also like that to be seen at all these third-party vendors for cd-burners, tv-cards and the like. But it's a long road to get there. > With the universal recognition and use of Linux as an operating > system, it seems strange that you don't see components or a whole > computer clearly identified as fully suitable for Linux even though > it may have MS Windows installed. This leaves you right now (if you really wanna be sure about that) to pre-installed systems or certified ones. bye mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

It's absolutely out of date.

You have to understand that these decisions are market driven. We're on that way to be there, but I agree not fully there. But we're working on that. > Since it appears you work at HP, you may want to bring up to management > that there are people _looking_ to spend money on laptops that won't > until MS isn't rammed down their throats. (I think the hardware thing, > like winmodems and such, is at the next level). We are well aware of that, and as I said working the issue. We've done this with desktops already (you can order an EVO D220 or 530 with Linux pre-installed). > I'm sorry if I've ranted or flamed, that was not my intent. Well I posted this and told you that I work for HP. If I would not be willing to take other peoples opinions on this and try to explain why things are as they are (at least at HP) I would not be on this list or pretty quiet about the fact that I work for a certain company. I didn't take this as a flame or offense. Honest opinions are always welcome :). bye mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Debian Desktop for a Joe Average

I also would put Ximians XD2 on top of that. I use it on some machines and am very happy with it. It has all the apps that Joe Average would need and they are well integrated from the beginning. Also keeping the system updated is pretty easy. bye mike -- Michael Schulz| private: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pirazzistr. 1 | work : [EMAIL PROTECTED] 63067 Offenbach, Germany | web: www.lnxlab.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
