All your inputs are most welcome. What I am observing is that linux experts/gurus are not parting with information of the hardware they use. Its is as if its top secret. I wonder why.
hmmm. interesting point. Maybee we should have some install-fest's like they do abroad, where we all bring systems together, and the guru's do a kind of show-and-tell. You learn how to install on various hardware, and you get your machine properly installed too. In general, there are very few pieces of hardware that i have ever come across that i havent been able to get to behave. A little bit of time and effort is all it takes to get any hardware up and usable in linux, in my experience.
What do you say guys, how about an installfest?
And my system is top-secret, and i have evidence in the form of a sticker on the chasis which reads *gasp* "TOP SECRET!!!" *chuckle*. Anyways, even if i gave you my system config, it's so weird, you'd wonder how i got anything to run on it properly, let alone linux.
