Linux Driver Project gets big backing

All the company had to do was provide the necessary info; the project would provide all the necessary resources to actually write and maintain the drivers. The project members were even willing to sign NDAs as necessary, provided that the end result would a GPL compatible driver.

I love to hear good things coming to Linux. If I didn't have to build a custom CD to install from a Sata DVD burner I would say things should move quickly..

This is what I am talking about. Get it all supported so it is easy to install. Then they will be able to stand up to the bully on the block.

Linux seem to have the install down pat - easy enough my grandparents can do it.

Hopefully the driver install becomes this way
