LinuxAnt's DriverLoader Loads Centrino Drivers

cRueLio writes "The latest release of Linuxant's DriverLoader can now load Centrino drivers. This is very useful, because Intel has been resisting the release of Linux Centrino drivers. For those of you who don't know, DriverLoader is practically a wrapper for Windows wireless drivers."

Re:How badly must one crave Linux to do this?!

But as we all know only 1337 Microsoft haters use Linux. Not people like me who actually ENJOY Linux and the applications over the Windows offering.

I'm sorry. I've discovered that about 85% of the linux software is inferior to the Windows equivalent. For example CD burning software (nero vs cdroast or whatever), mp3 players (itunes vs xmms), games, web browser( yes the firebird for windows is better/faster than the linux version), photo editors (photoshop vs gimp), video editors (premiere/virtualdub vs NOTHING that i've found), text editor(textpad vs pic a texteditor). I could list more but I won't. Also note that all of the linux programs that are better than the windows variants are ported to windows already (apache, bash, vim if you're inclined).

Linux means I have to deal with no, "Well... reinstall X program or the OS all together." That's my PRIMARY beef with Windows. Something breaks or doesn't work in Linux, I can fix it. In Windows reinstall, pray. If that doesn't work, reload the OS and pray.

Have you truely used windows 2000 or xp? I can go without having to reinstall anything until my computer explodes (literally). Also Windows has this little thing called a standard install program which installs your software for you. Don't go saying that './configure && make && make install' is standard because not every program works that way, you have to download libjoerandom to get it to work anyways and it depends on the distrobution your using.

Now that i've pissed people off enough: /rant
