Definately the riot. I had one in my driveway for 6 years, then returned it to the owner of Thunder Ranch(a good friend) to be finished and sold on consignment. The riot is a kick ass kit, if anyone has any questions that they'd be interested in having answered, e-mail me at damen_red@please-don't-spam-me.yahoo.com. I like the upgrades like DOORS, the origional didn't come with them. I can't believe that they don't mention where the body and essentially origional concept came from. One of thunder ranch's other projects was making concept electric cars. DR
Agreed, but I thought this isue was worth mentioning because I was surprised when I switched over that there were so many of these things out there that have no Linux support yet, or ever, it just seems like one of those basic tools of computing. Mouse, keyboard, printer... It would just suck if there was an office out there that was trying to fight the good fight and found out that half their printers were waste after the fact.
Even though printer support seems to be gaining momentum, it's still not as good as printing in a M$ Windows environment. I would think in an office environment this would be more of a concern than to a home user. This is the only thing that is keeping me from switching over entirely, I would in the process be turning my two printers into paperweights. Check www.linuxprinting.org for compatible printers, and stay away from win-printers, if I had known mine was a win-printer I never would have bought it in the first place. Live and learn.
