Problems getting Linux into homes.

[Robin Laing <Robin Laing drdc-rddc gc ca>]

As a Linux user, I have had issues with different hardware and 
software in Linux.

Here is a pro-windows article based on problems of installing Linux 
and sound card issues.

  Langa Letter: Linux's Achilles' Heel.

I will admit that I had no problems installing FC 1 on my new computer 
and it recognizing the sound card.  I haven't been able to get ALSA 
working yet though. :(

As the issues with Video cards and hardware not being supported by 
manufacturers or allowing their "closed source" drivers from being 
distributed with Linux will be a stumbling block for Linux in the home.
