How I hate broadcom corp And the ati drivers

I don't have a laptop. But my girlfriend has a hp with broadcom wireless. Had a lot of trouble with the wireless and some problems with the microphone. Until feisty came along and everything just worked.

I'm really happy that I don't have a laptop with hardware from stupid manufactures that fefuses to help make drivers. Since I have a workstation I just replaced the crappy ati 200 xpress with a nvidia card. The ati card is the only hardware problem I ever had with linux.

It was so nice to just throw away all the stupid driver cd's Now I'm a windows noob instead I get really frustrated when in windows. No multiple desktops, almost none of the great apps Gnu gave me for free and allowed me to whatever I want to do with them.

Maybe you will have the same experience with the laptop when gutsy arrives
