Intel to Increase Linux Support, Release Centrino Drivers

jonman_d writes "ZDNet UK is reporting that Intel has promised to increase Linux support by releasing Linux drivers at the same time it releases Windows drivers for its hardware. According to the general manager of Intel's Software and Solutions Group, Intel wants Linux users to be able to use their hardware as easily, or easier, than any other hardware on the planet." Pingla writes in with more good news: "Intel promises to release Linux drivers for its Centrino chipset at the same time it releases drivers for Windows. An article featuring Lindows (aka Lin---s) on CNet has more." Sadly, the Centrino support will most likely be a proprietary driver, but it's better than nothing.

    But, seriously, I see that the article was written after the namechange, I don't see why it would make anything but problems by calling it Lindows after that (why not "aka lindash"?)...

  5. Centrino touched my junk! (Lol its 5, funny) by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic


    centrino touched my junk liberally. she strapped me in to her zif-socket and she couldnt keep her offensive hands off of me. she was performing many red flag touches. i couldnt believe what the fuck was going on. i told centrino the city would not approve of a millionaire touching an underage kid for free.
    can you believe it? centrino did all this. she picked me off the street, strapped my arms and legs down in the zif-socket's passenger seat, and just wouldn't stop fondling my cock'n'balls.
    they definately were red flag touches. the goddamn referee she had in the back seat kept on raising up this red flag every time she touched my junk but did centrino care? NO WAY! she just kept on doing it. I couldn't believe what the fuck was going on, indeed. I pleaded with centrino but to no avail. I told her the city would not approve of such a wealthy woman touching an underage kid like me (at the time I was 13) without at least compensating me for the trauma and the use of my body as her own personal plaything.
    this got to her, worrying about her image. she continued to fondle me, all the while ignoring the referee's red flags. then she drove the zif-socket to my house and ejected the seat i was in! it was amazing. but surprisingly, after I woke up the next morning, my bank account had $150k in it!!! Can you believe it?

    Can't we just call it Lindows here? I don't care about trademarks - the whole thing is silly and boring.
