[vox-jobs] Re: Freedom Fry's is like no Fry's at All

Since it sounds like you are looking for non-emergency paid help, I am 
cc'ing your email over to our jobs email list "vox-jobs".  I am not on 
that list, and so I am not sure what type of traffic it has.  To get 
free help and advice, you may join our technical list "vox-tech" 
(http://lugod.org/mailinglists/) or come to an installfest 
(http://lugod.org/if/).  Also, we would love to see you at a LUGOD meeting.

As for your immediate issue, it is true that almost no hardware comes 
with Linux drivers.  Fortunately, most hardware is supported by drivers 
available in the Linux kernel.  Network cards and cdrw driver are 
generally well supported.
