They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease!  I think if someone had a
web site dedicated to complains about manufactures that do not support
Linux this would possibly cause some motivation.  

I'm tired of hearing "we do not support Linux."!

I bought an OnStreem tape backup which I thought would be okay since
they provided a kernel patch.  When I got an error while trying to
install the patch, I called tech support.  I was told "We really don't
support that.".

I put the tape drive back in the box, it is useless until I can
resolve my problem.


I'm with ya Lucas.
