Linux?? Maybe We Should Beg Digi for Linux Support?
It seems Linux users are used to begging manufacturers for Linux
support of their hardware? http://www.petitiononline.com/YALB1975/petition.html 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? dbx_boy |

Most HP printers work fine. Out of all the printers that do work,
there is more than enough choice. |

Now why would I want to buy hardware from any manufacturer if it doesn't support main stream product like GNU/Linux? There are plenty out there that works and who support Linux. |

Crappy hardware support is to be expected until the manufacturers realize they are losing significant bucks by not supporting. The time is coming. There are manufacturers like HP and Epson who have realized the situation and are indeed starting to support Linux. Once it gets rolling, it will be a snowball effect. BTW no need to beg for printer support - there are plenty of models from HP, Epson and Brother that work fine with Linux - I know, I check these things out before I buy equipment. |

You often state that you do not support Linux because "At this time, the low user base of Linux does not merit the expense of developing our software to fit those needs." This petition sets to correct your gross miscalculation. After viewing the numbers of users that have signed this petition, perhaps you might want to reconsider. We would like you, the manufacturer; to reacquaint yourselves to the fact that WE are the consumers...therefore, WE dictate the rise and fall of the market. WE push a product or pull it. The ball is in our court. Let this petition serve as a notification and warning...you can show your intention at bringing resolution to this matter by releasing drivers for Linux or open sourcing your current stock of drivers...or you can ignore it and paint a target on yourselves for a Linux wide boycott of your products." 1061. THOMAS C HARDY USA Linux drivers are desperately needed for all devices. 1054. Mikko Virkkilä Finland Every purchase I make is largely based on the attitude the manufacturer has towards the free software community. This literally makes or breaks every single deal. 1040. MJ Ray UK Free software drivers give better performance, all else being equal 1026. Eamonn United Arab Emirates No need to be anal towards Linux! 941. Alan Fincher USA Please provide us with drivers for Linux. Linux is growing at an unexpected rate, that you must consider us. Products such as Linspire, Xandros, Ubuntu, Mepis, Suse, etc make it easy for the average user. Provide us and help bring other companies into the world of Linux. 928. Faisal Islam U.S.A. I **only** buy hardware supported under OS/2 and Linux. 861. Bob Guy usa If it doesn't work with linux, and is linux friendly, I won't buy it! I love this guy: 928. Faisal Islam U.S.A. I **only** buy hardware supported under OS/2 and Linux. Have much luck with OS/2 and chipsets more recent than 1996, Faisal ? The signers of this petition must be mistaken, since we all know, from reading cola, that linux has drivers for /everything/, right Liam, Skippa, pIk ? |

Obviously begause digidesign is an audio hardware manufacture for which no products they sell are supported by Linux. Their mistake. There is plenty of proffesional grade audio hardware available that is. |

My integrated sound controller didn't work. I had bought an AMD64 when they first came out and with it came a POS sound controller that was too new to have been looked at yet. I also had a similar problem with a video input card running a brand new chipset; got video but no sound. I also had a DVD burner that wouldn't be recognized but now works. These things are probably fixed now that I haven't verified are. I haven't messed with my video and the sound controller was a POS anyway so I went and got something decent and of course it was supported. On-board sound is ****... As far as printers...never seen one that didn't work. Doesn't mean they don't exist. You used to have to be careful about what you buy...not so much anymore. Most quality and economy hard ware works. The cheap **** sometimes doesn't because nobody wants it anyway so nobody bothers to write drivers for a while if ever. There are some noted exceptions where hardware manufacturers refuse to play nice with 3rd party developers...Digi is one of them. |

Many printers also have a HP emulation mode where you can use the HP drivers with the printer. Not a perfect solution but it will let you print. there is more than enough choice. Mr. slacker.. I'm surprised to hear this coming from you. "More than enough choice" doesn't cut it around here. It's "freedom of choice" and if you want to use a 9-pin dot matrix printer from 1992 there had best be some native linux drivers for it or heads are gonna roll. Anything less is simply unacceptable. g |
