  • czarr, on 07/12/2008, -0/+1I don't think the "linux purists" have much of a choice but to use proprietary software for their video cards and wireless...Whats your point? Do you think the purists should be sitting @ A terminal...hookup to a cat5 to prove a point? The code works NOW but when we need a critical update, or an update just to keep up with the current kernel build we have to wait for the company to release a new version rather then the community do it themselves, much quicker no doubt.
