Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX
You have to admit that, from a hardware support point of view, Linux still sucks.

well i can't honestly remember, it being 5 months since i took it back to the shop, but i think it was this one here, the sound blaster 4.1 digital.
edit, in fact it was, i recognise the little bastard...
edit2: in fact it definitely was here's the thread where i complain about the fact bitterly.

Yeah, I tried for six hours to get mine working. Supposedly it came with the drivers for the sound card, but during the boot process when it tried to load the kernel module, it always failed. I ended getting my super cheap old ass card and it works great.
Pantso:
I also have a bitter experience with brand new hardware and Linux. Sometimes it's definitely better to go with older hardware than brand new and fancy ones. ;)

Let me tell you something: I don't have to admint anything. :D

It has been my experience with RH 6.1, 8.0 and knoppix 3.2 that there is some truth to the hardware issues. From a complete newbie's position: there's drive mounting with RH 8.0, as an example. I've had issues with video and sound cards, but the time I've wasted trying to make M$ work has been vastely greater.
