In this game, I tend to leave it up to the individual and groups to
fight for whatever they want as it's sometimes a bit of concerted action
that yields results. It can be a protracted exercise, but nothing
ventured, nothing gained. The situation has improved as far as vendor
support is concerned, it started at zero, but still not all we would
like and may never be, so it's a case of eating what you have on your
plate and asking for more - no bones broken.

It's users of that calibre and vendors with the clout of IBM, Dell, HP
etc. that can help and the fact that Linux will rapidly be a good
revenue stream for the most open of manufacturers. Today in Linux we are
not where we were 10 years ago and 10 years from now we won't be where
we are today and the signs are good.

Sid.
