It seems Linux users are used to begging manufacturers for Linux
support of their hardware?

Maybe we should start a petition to beg Digidesign, Creamware and all
the others to support Linux!

And people actually have to ask why Linux doesn't even show on the
radar map of desktop users.
Maybe horrid hardware support is a good place to start. Come on
already, when Linux users have to BEG for printer support, things must
be pretty sad in that neck of the woods.
With all of this configuring, keeping track of software, compling
kernels and now begging for support, one has to wonder when these Linux
people have time to use their applications?
