Just Plain Limmen

This email conversation on the Helios OS blog really captures the struggle Free and Open Source supporters are enduring.

This is exactly the kind of news I was expecting and hoping for: Dell Wants Better ATI Linux Drivers.
I am a Linux fan boy and I am hoping/advocating for more momentum in the Open Source/Linux/GNU movement. This momentum could only be initiated by profit. Profit means: some company will have to be involved with Linux. I was already thrilled by the fact that Dell has stepped up to sell pre-installed Linux on their machines and I was waiting on this very important news item: Dell, a large player in computer hardware, demanding better driver support for Linux. This can finally mean that hardware vendors will not ignore Linux any more since Dell (and possibly other hardware sellers in the future) wants Linux drivers.
The Linux movement will thrive.
