[snip good info]

Thanks for he great post, Stefan. I must say though that I do like to
specifically look for Linux support in hardware just to firstly support
those companies that bother to look outside of the Microsoft/Apple
realms, as well as hopefully getting feedback back up the chain to the
decision makers in these companies that such support is wanted and
valued.

Otheer than that, thanks again for the great info.

Ciao

Zak
