yes,
I find very few situations in which linux kernel does not have drivers
for a hardware.
and do you want to know what freedom is?
I was at the lab of Dr. Nagarjuna just couple of days back.
there is a windows machine lying in his lab "no joke really!"
the reason is that yes, one of his hp printer/ scanner does not work
with linux kernel.
but I told him promptly that I will write the device drivers for it.
if the spects are open nothing like it.
if they are closed, well, I will at least try.
