["Dennis" <podein@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Don't know if anyone saw this yet .
>-----------------------------------------------------------------
>If you had to pick one thing that was holding Linux back from
>becoming a serious Windows competitor, what would it be? Of
>course... device support! Windows 95/98/2000 work with virtually
>everything. Linux can't say the same... yet! Libranet plans to do
>something about it by gathering 2,000,000 signatures on a 
>petition, which it plans to submit to major hardware vendors.
>The hope is to make the vendors realize that there is demand out
>there for more Linux driver support. Not only is this good for
>the Linux world, but it puts pressure on Microsoft to continue
>to develop Winodws into a more stable platform, so even if you're
>not a Linux user and never plan to be, the petition is still
>worth signing!
