| catfish0275 | Hi, Adelaide here | 06:20 |
| elky | airtonix, re: pioneer. yes on both counts. | 08:10 |
| airtonix | elky: so what is the quality of their linux installs like? | 10:35 |
| elky | The linux install is pretty much stock with whatever driver fiddliness is needed. but they don't disclose the driver fiddliness ime\ | 10:35 |
| airtonix | :< | 10:35 |
| elky | you can extract the info out of them, but they don't like put info in the box | 10:36 |
| airtonix | so it's inside text files or inside some binary you have to decompile? | 10:36 |
| elky | so you get an ubuntu installed system, for example, then try swap it to fedora, and you then find out that for example, the wifi had extra drivers on it | 10:37 |
| elky | and you ask them and they go 'oh yeah, we installed the drivers for ubuntu. the chipset is blah. dunno about fedora though" etc | 10:37 |
| airtonix | would've been awesome if they just did the fucking right thing like they do for windows and provide driver packages for major distro, they do it for win98, xp, 2000, 7. | 10:38 |
| elky | tell that to the component manufacturers. | 10:38 |
| elky | usually some place in china | 10:38 |
| airtonix | noobs | 10:38 |
| airtonix | not a palce that cares about freedom | 10:39 |
| airtonix | "just be grateful that we make this stuff" | 10:39 |
| airtonix | which is true | 10:39 |
| airtonix | otherwise it would cost us a small fortune to setup a small business server | 10:40 |
