I'm a long-time Windows user, but for years I've been searching for an intelligent alternative. Macs are actually a great choice, but have you priced them lately? I don't have two grand to spend for another system. I had been reading all the hoopla surrounding Xandros Desktop for a number of months and decided to take the plunge. I had been burned two times previously trying to install other Linux distributions. Their tech support was non-existent. I'm essentially working in a vacuum. When something has gone wrong in the past, I've found that I was on my own.
I buy quality hardware that I know runs well under Linux (including drawing tablets, USB mass storage devices, digital cameras, scanners, etc.) because I want to run Linux. (Emphasis mine)
So what you're saying is that any piece of hardware that does not run in Linux is not quality hardware? What about the devices that used to not work in Linux but now do? Were they simply pieces of crap until somebody wrote a Linux driver for them and then they became high quality?
