Oh really? Can you give me some facts? I'll throw a fact at you. Try installing Etch on a C2D machine running Intel's DG965RY motherboard. Then you contradict me. This is not a one off incident. The FACT is Etch's kernel doesn't have a driver which is essential for the IDE controller. Its some JMicron controller.
Next time you better get your facts straight before shooting off a reply. I'm not here to have a childish "i'm right, no i'm right" debate. I've presented FACTS which are backed up by numbers.
If you could read my mail fully, I just said I didn't have any issues with Debian for any of my my new hardware. Did I anywhere mention that Debian supports everything under the sun. It didn't support your stuff, I agree. but just the same way that is a fact, my statement that it supported my hardware is a fact. I can't take it back just because you want me to.
For some facts, It has supported my modem, digital camera, mobile phone out-of-box. Thank you.
