Two comments for dclinuxers and driver-writers everywhere:
1. It seems very interesting to me that the Amiga is going to be
'reissued' or rejuvenated next fall, with Linux installed, by Gateway. I
would enjoy any additional info or commentary.
2. The linuxers-of-the-world are suffuciently numerous today to exercise
more influence on manufacturers of peripherals. When a tape machine or
CDR or anything is manufactured, and the manufacturer rovides a driver
for microsoft systems, and pointedly neglects to provide drivers for
Linux/Unix and other systems, it can be argued that the manufacturer is a
willing partner in the microsoft conspiracy. Hewlett-Packard is a good
example, but there are many others. Question: How in the world can we
go about the job of exercising influence on thie situation? Think of the
amount of time and trouble we could save ourselves!
