Dear Arun;
The inputs I have from the net suggest that vendors do not release
Linux drivers; the open community does not have the resources to write
them. Does this mean with the new range of hardware will force a
re-look at the way open source addresses these issues?
I woudld be grateful for a suggested hardware composition. I concur
with your last paragraph! By the by the latest HP suggests touchscreen
is the way to go for a Desktop. Interesting!!

It is actually the hardware vendors who are notorious - they don't
provide drivers. Those who do, especially open source, their h/w
works as good under Linux vis-a-vis other prop. OSs.
could anyone suggest suitable harware for
Debian; a distro known for its range of applications; not too high end
say Intel core 2 duo equvalent.
For my personal purchases, I buy h/w that has been about 6 months in
the market. They cost less compared to the latest and greatest in
in the market. Chances are pretty good, that all devices will work
out of the box with the latest versions of any Distro on h/w that has
been in the market for about 6 months.
