I know that a supported hardware list is provided with each RELEASE, but given that 99% of software is imperfect (yes that other 1% is code I write :), it would be nice to know reliability statistics for various drivers/hardware. Perhaps the statistics for such a record could be compiled from the user-base - or possibly from core-team members ? So for example, with the various network cards and network drivers, i could look at a page on www.freebsd.org and say .. ah yes ... the foobar network card has a 98% driver reliability, i'll buy that one then for the network i'm about to setup. 3) Question: I've seen (I really don't want to admit to this) urhg ... ummm ... argh yes LINUX documentation talking about LINUX support for various printers, e.g. the Canon BJC-620 I've got sitting on my computer, so one can do graphics and word-processing e.t.c. other than just straight-forward text-file printing. Has FreeBSD got this ? I've heard about StarOffice, Applixware, e.t.c. but don't know much about them and have never used them. cheers ....
