   I have Alias kill filed, but it's obvious to anyone that's actually used   
   Linux that he's lying, they have crappy printer support and a lot of the   
   supported printers have basic controls and not the feature rich controls   
   or options that are included with most Windows printer drivers.   
      
   My video card, on one of my laptops, does not have a direct Windows 7   
   driver, but, something Alias would not know, is that the XP driver works   
   perfectly and at all the same resolutions. On a Linux distro I can only   
   get 1024x768, and since the laptop is a wide screen, the fonts are   
   skewed.   
      
   I can remember Alias bashing vist, claiming direct problems experience,   
   and then he slipped up and admitted he had never installed Vista or even   
   used it himself...   
      
   --   
   You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little   
   voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.   
   Trust yourself.
