[lugip] Question about hardware

[John LeMasney]

Fairly certain this is just a plug and play certification/marketing 
oriented shakedown scheme, just like 'plays for sure', win 98 
compatible, etc.

It doesn't mean it doesn't work with Linux, just that it will surely 
work with Vista, for now.

I would do a hardware compatibility check with your distro, but more 
importantly, that good drivers exist in Linux, ones that make use of 
hardware acceleration, etc.

Nice talking with you. Dawn's water broke the night of the meeting at 
about 6:30 - no way I could have made it. ;)
