One thing? I have learned in the almost two years that
I have tinkered in Linux is:
Waste paper, not money!!
PRINT the 'LIST' for whatever device you are thinking
about buying and take it with you to the store!!!
I think That IF we all looked up, and printed the
'list', we would save a lot of headaches. (failed to
take my own advice a couple times)!!!
In this case, 46 pages off the SANE page.
Just think of the impact!! Manufacturers would go
broke as the Linux users got wise to their crap/lack
of unix drivers!!!
Hehehe, just joking about the going broke.

=====
Cyclists should expect and demand safe
accommodation on our public roads,
just as does every other user.
Nothing more is expected.
Nothing less is acceptable!
Long live Knoppix!!
