Re: [LAU] New processor purchase, AMD

I disagree. While AMD has a good track record with free software... so does Intel: 1. Nearly all of their wireless drivers are free, and have been for a long time. (..with small arguments about the firmware...) They are also developed in a fairly open manner. 2. Their graphics drivers are free, especially the newer ones... and they're developed in a fairly open manner. 3. Nearly all of their compilers and developer tools run on Linux. 4. They (along with Nokia) are bank-rolling the MeeGo project. It is also being developed in an open manner with an emphasis on getting free code into upstream. -gabriel
