    For all the Slashdot posters who keep begging for Linux support and talking about how big companies constantly ignore you, this is your chance.

    Buy AMD. Be vocal that the reason you're buying an AMD video card is because of their driver. Vote with your wallet.

    (On the CPU front, you can make an equal case for Intel supporting open source).
