We need to keep a full fledged list of companies that have horrific support for Linux machines.

1. Lexmark - named paperweight of the year, for all the worth their printers have in regards to Linux Support.

2. ATI - Names Video Card for the blind - Awarded for creating Windows only drivers.

3. Broadcom - for forcing people to use ndiswrapper to get on the fracking internet.

4. Adobe - for letting Bugs like this sit for a year

5. Microsoft - For saying that Linux users are nothing more than patent infringer's --- yet without telling us what we are infringing on.

Missing anyone? reply below.

Added ones:
6. Webex - for not allowing companies to use Linux to do remote access quickbooks.
7. Quickbooks - for forcing us to use freaking Windows to do accounting (of course their are opensource options, but that isn't the point).

I can't get my comp to boot Fedora Core 6, it installs fine and is detected but my OSL2000 boot manager just hangs when I select it

Oh and how about one for giggles..

Linux: "WTF is NTFS?"
Windows: "WTF is ext3?"
Apple: "HFS+ > All"


Before you yell at me.. I know Linux doesn't support NTFS for copyright reasons.. and that would be a 'real' copyright infringement...

I sort of like the approach that Ubuntu took with 7.4 ..

It has a 'Restricted' area where proprietary software could be installed.. hence has a wider hardware support area.. but at the same time it's not on by default.. so the user has to 'turn it on' if their machine needs those drivers.
