Re: A curiosity about multi-user systems?

Hi Chris, Michal et al.

Last year, I wanted to buy a laptop capable of beeping, at least during 
boot. My first intention was actually to buy a NUC mini-computer made by 
Intel, but there was no way I could find correct information whether it 
would be able to beep,. Then after asking on some mailing lists, I was 
informed that laptops from HP and Lenovo were capable of beeping, so I 
ended up buying an HP with basic specs. It is indeed able to beep during 
boot using grub2, but curiously, it doesn't beep from within Linux, e.g. 
using the beep program, and I was not able to locate any beep related 
volume control inside alsaMixer.

Afterall, each manufacturer certainly has its own proprietary hardware 
weirdness...
