That's not exactly true. Although they tell this to every end-user (funny
sice they are buying the stuff), some people at acer seem to be willing
to cooperate with Linux distributors. Of course, it depends on the phase
of the moon and what that people had to lunch today and for sure the right
hand at acer does not know what the left hand is doing (and the other way
round). But not everything is lost, there may still be some hope (and i
will of course not buy acer until this is fixed).
