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. Dotan Cohen
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 -- Fedora Core 6 and proud
