Just thought that you guys might like to know that I just spent 23
minutes on the phone with Logitech telling them that they need to
supply Linux drivers. They were rather nice, but they said that they
have no intention of ever suppling linux drivers as there is no
demand. They do have Vista drivers, though, even though I am certain
that for every Vista user today there are 1000 Linux users or more.

Logitech's contact info is on this page:
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/utilities/contact/IL/EN

And to save you the trip, this is their US phone number:
702-269-3457

Give them a call and express interest. It is the only way that we will
see companies back their products with linux support.

I hate to ask RedHat for anything as if it were a family member of
mine, but I have this request.

As much as they are not in the desktop market, purely as a gesture of
goodwill, could RedHat start reselling such hardware that is in
demand? I'm thinking of all linux users interested in, and wanting to
buy a webcam for example, would signup, maybe put half the money down,
and then RedHat would approach Logitech for example with the bulk
order (which I hear manufactures respond to much better) and RedHat
tacks on whatever percentage is needed to cover the cost to them of
doing this. I much rather pay RH as middle man than go straight to the
manufacturer and still get incomplete support.

Hope that made sense.

Peace
