LibraNet: The Linux Driver Petition

[ Thanks to Gert Wollny for this link. ]

"We at Libranet are committed to helping to make the Linux operating system as functional as possible for Linux desktop users."

"Linux is hampered by a lack of drivers for some pc devices, notably printers."

"In an effort to help correct this, we are collecting signatures to a petition which will be submitted to the major producers of pc devices."

"It is our hope that we will collect 2,000,000 signatures within a short time and that this will cause these companies to take notice of the need to co-operate with Linux developers in producing Linux drivers for their products."
