Don't go binary for your Linux desktop drivers
,----[ Quote ]
| Binary drivers only hurt those who are looking for device support for
| their Linux desktop, says Trent Hein, one of the co-authors of the
| Linux Administration Handbook, 2nd Edition (Prentice Hall). Hardware
| manufacturers usually discontinue binary driver support long before
| users have finished using the device.
|
| In this interview, Hein discusses why it's better to buy devicesf
| rom manufacturers that specifically market Linux support, what
| factors are causing driver support issues and why he doesn't have
| a favorite distro.
