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.
