As a general comment, it appears that vendors<br>
of all stripes might want to be more explicit about<br>
what hardware their offerings have been tried on.<br>
Sun Microsystems used to provide an extensive<br>
list of hardware that was known to work with its<br>
products - probably still does. This could save a<br>
potential user the ordeal of having to sort out<br>
hardware issues first thing if that is not their interest.<br>
<br>
Clearly some Linux distros are better than others<br>
in this regard, and probably some package providers.<br>
Mandriva seems very good. I hear SuSe is too. I'm<br>
not that impressed so far with Ubuntu - some ATI display<br>
cards apparently give it fits.<br>
