I am wondering why Linux (FC2) can't find all the hardware attachments/applications that are attached to one's computer. I am thinking of printers, scanners, etc.. I ask this because Windows finds these things so well? And Linux is supposed to be better. So, why are these devices not found when booting up Linux? With each new Kernel there is always hope that these little 'differences' will be resolved. And with new releases such as FC2 our further expectations are increased. But these little differences are not found or fixed. And yet, the Windows Operating System does so well with this stuff?? Anyone have any thoughts on this. I am not a Windows supporter but do use it on one of my machines. I am always amazed to find that windows finds my scanners without any difficulty and yet Linux doesn't know its there.. -- Ted Gervais Coldbrook, Nova Scotia Canada.
