Manufacturers of sound cards not supported by Linux (well, at least the major players, there's no point in listing every single microscopic company) 4. Feed-back addresses and contacts of said manufacturers Then, whenever a Linux user buys a card supported by Linux, it would be very simple to send a thank you to the respective manufacturer ("hey guys, i'm buying this card because it's supported by Linux, thanks") and send a f*** you to all manufacturers in column #3 ("hey guys, i bought a card made by XYZ instead of you, because your cards are not supported by Linux, no thanks"). Put that page on a prominent Linux multimedia site, advertise it and encourage everyone to use it. If thousands of people do that, i betcha we will see some changes. -- Florin Andrei http://florin.myip.org/
