   I wasn't wanting to get into that crap either - I've been working with   
   Fedora for a decade (at least it seems that long) and AIX before that,   
   and Ubuntu and a couple others. Having an I.T. business means I'm   
   exposed to a LOT of systems and hardware, more than a typical home user,   
   and I've found that Linux, in general, has far less support for devices   
   than does Windows. I'm not talking about a nix driver that gives the   
   basics and that's all, I'm talking about full featured drivers like we   
   see in windows.
