- The twisted world of The Typical Linux Nutcase.
- Posted by Pete Mycock on February 29th, 2004
WOW!
I post a single message expressing my frustration over the documented
failure of Linux to properly support a very popular motherboard and
the screwballs come out of the wood work like some kind of army of
misguided ants heading for a picnic.
So far I have seen lot's of name calling, topic diverting and just
plain lying but still no concrete solution to my situation.
Maybe this is why Linux is still a fringe OS catering to nutcases and
anti-commercial hippies of the 2000's.
Like I stated, this board worked right from the start with Windows XP
and in fact works very nice.
Linux can't seem to match Windows support of common, popular hardware
so how on earth can anyone expect Linux to achieve any sort of market
share?
I predict Linux will stay exactly where it is now, in the back room
running on servers, as long as they don't use via6410 chipsets and
managed by a team of geeks that never see the real world and thus have
no clue, what is going on.
Much like the creatures of COLA.

Linux as a whole is growing in leaps and bounds while Windows has more

I gave you some links for the VIA problem.
Take a look and try them and get back to us, or email me if you need
more information.

Linux driver for your Via RAID chip. It says it's for Red Hat 7.2, but it
may work for all linux distros, as there are no rpms in the zip file.
You get free phone and email installation support from SuSE. Why not call
them? I'm sure they have a better answer than anyone here could have.
Blame Via for lack of Linux support. Microsoft doesn't write drivers for Via
controllers - Via does. If they don't write supporting drivers for Linux,
blame them. Maybe they'll get their act together and start supporting a
superior OS.

Unlike ronny-stepken@nexgo.de I don't want SPAM.
Using your real mail address like ronny-stepken@nexgo.de invites SPAM.
It's not a good idea to use your address like ronny-stepken@nexgo.de because
the spammers harvest newsgroups looking for things like ronny-stepken@nexgo.de
so they can SPAM that address.
Not that you think about it, aren't you glad ronny-stepken@nexgo.de isn't your
real address?

So how does one install this software when one can't even see the disks
to install Redhat in the first place?
I suspect they will say it is unsupported, something the OP should have
figured out from the start.
If they thought it was a superior OS, don't you think they would have
supported it from the release of the chipset?
After all Windows was supported from day one and this is not a new
chipset.
Evidently VIA has decided that the Linux market is not worth the effort
for whatever reason.
That's what the various VIA fora seem to be saying.
