LinuxWorld Response to 'How to Kill Linux'

Posted by Zonk on from the them's-fightin'-words dept.

aneroid writes "In response to John Dvorak's "How to Kill Linux" column, LinuxWorld has a riposte to the columnist's assertations. From the article: "Because most of the time, with mainstream devices, I work out of the box. For the "savvy user" and OEM builder, the Linux driver "problem" isn't the problem it was. The days when my poor user had to sweat blood to get me onto a laptop are long gone. Sure, if I get slung onto some random old machine there are still wrinkles, but from what I see on the Windows support forums, that's hardly unique." <update> The story is actually from GrokLaw originally - credit where credit is due.

    I'm having trouble with a DVD player (even google can't tell me if it will work or not), and a wireless network card.

    So what's the trick, and where's some good links?

    You were mistaken. Which is odd, since memory shouldn't be a problem for you

    VMware - You won't regret it. Best $190 I ever spent on computer software.

    i'm glad to see that your comment got modded up, but it think insightful would have been more appropriate than funny.
