Linux Maybe We Should Beg Digi for Linux Support

"Dear Printer Manufacturers,

We, the Undersigned, are sick of your unprofessional atbreastude toward the users of the Linux operating system. You often state that you do not support Linux because "At this time, the low user base of Linux does not merit the expense of developing our software to fit those needs." This pebreastion sets to correct your gross miscalculation. After viewing the numbers of users that have signed this pebreastion, perhaps you might want to reconsider.

We would like you, the manufacturer; to reacquaint yourselves to the fact that WE are the consumers...therefore, WE dictate the rise and fall of the market. WE push a product or pull it. The ball is in our court. Let this pebreastion serve as a notification and warning...you can show your intention at bringing resolution to this matter by releasing drivers for Linux or open sourcing your current stock of drivers...or you can ignore it and paint a target on yourselves for a Linux wide boycott of your products."

1061. THOMAS C HARDY USA Linux drivers are desperately needed for all devices. 1054. Mikko VirkkilŠ Finland Every purchase I make is largely based on the atbreastude the manufacturer has towards the free software community. This literally makes or breaks every single deal. 1040. MJ Ray UK Free software drivers give better performance, all else being equal 1026. Eamonn United Arab Emirates No need to be anal towards Linux! 941. Alan Fincher USA Please provide us with drivers for Linux. Linux is growing at an unexpected rate, that you must consider us. Products such as Linspire, Xandros, Ubuntu, Mepis, Suse, etc make it easy for the average user. Provide us and help bring other companies into the world of Linux. 928. Faisal Islam U.S.A. I **only** buy hardware supported under OS-2 and Linux. 861. Bob Guy usa If it doesn't work with linux, and is linux friendly, I won't buy it!

I love this guy: 928. Faisal Islam U.S.A. I **only** buy hardware supported under OS-2 and Linux.

Have much luck with OS-2 and chipsets more recent than 1996, Faisal ?

The signers of this pebreastion must be mistaken, since we all know, from reading cola, that linux has drivers foreverything-, right Liam, Skippa, pIk ?
