One barrier I have seen
is people have Lexmark printers... when I am queried about moving to Linux I ask what printer they have (amongst other questions....) and if they say Lexmark the next question is is it old? So they can replace it wiht an HP.

Lexmark is one of those vendors that has not been very helpful... and this needs to change as well.

MP3, APT both work in RedHat and Fedora  carlito408@... | 10/31/05
Yes, we need common binaries and installers that work on all distributions.  DonnieBoy | 10/17/05
KDE is a far better  Linux Advocate | 10/17/05
What?  just^me | 10/17/05
KDE is really clunky. Konquerer suuucks.  DonnieBoy | 10/17/05

Yes, through the madness of the open source process, it all works out . . .  DonnieBoy | 10/17/05
Have you heard of FreeDesktop??  thetargos | 11/08/05
Thank you DonnieBoy  carlito408@... | 10/31/05

No, that is still NOT good enough. Libraries should be LGPL, NOT GPL  DonnieBoy | 10/18/05
For those of you that don't know, the QT license is still a problem.  DonnieBoy | 10/18/05
What's wrong with  Linux Advocate | 10/18/05
If it wasn't something as basic as the widget set,it wouldn't be a big deal  DonnieBoy | 10/18/05
I don't program...  Linux Advocate | 10/18/05
Another thing. We need a common driver model.  DonnieBoy | 10/17/05
Well here  Linux Advocate | 10/17/05
I know, Tell me about it...  just^me | 10/17/05
Yes, the driver problem will only get better after we have a common model.  DonnieBoy | 10/17/05

Hey, get this, I just bought something that works with Linux, NOT Windows!!  DonnieBoy | 10/17/05
Is it just me....  DarbyOhara | 10/18/05
I would want one  Real World | 10/18/05
Well, Linux had the usb-serial driver built-in. With Windows, it was not  DonnieBoy | 10/18/05
Nope  Real World | 10/18/05
It is always easier if you can just plug it in and go. Now, I have to keep  DonnieBoy | 10/18/05
