[other operating system] linux is critical about hardware. but if linux had support of oem's it would be more of a breeze as is oos. but, in long run, you will be happier with linux and in time find that it really is a better system. later. - -- tc,hago. g . in a free world without fences, who needs gates. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Red Hat - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIlj3D+C4Bj9Rkw/wRAkOZAJ9WWhkvi8T/JqKS4pLM+DVkHk/w9ACffL+I xObUM47Ds477KzKlYW+Ktm4= =SsBo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
