Re: Linux and firewire drives...

What you say can equally be applied to any Microsoft OS.

Your arguments are right, Linux can be a bitch to set up if you don't
know what your doing, or you can't call on someone who knows what
they're doing, but the same can equally be applied to Windows,
especially NT4 as that's now unsupported.

To say that Linux is a labour of love without a support network is
equally applicable to Windows, if not more so. It's very unusual to
have any Linux product that doesn't have an active community
supporting it.
