They could do an even better job if they had the co-operation of the manufacturers.Libranet has initiated a campaign to acquire 2,000,000 signatures to a petition to the major producers of pc boards and peripherals. The intent of the petition is to bring to the attention of these companies that there is a large market for their products which they are not adequately addressing. These companies produce device drivers exclusively for the Microsoft operating system and for the most part ignore the growing Linux population.We feel that when presented with a petition containing a large number of signatures these companies will take notice and begin to provide the Linux developer community with specification of their products or that they will themselves begin writing device drivers for Linux.Anyone wishing to sign the petition may do so at www.libranet.com/petition.html.We invite the Linux community and computer users in general to join with us in helping to make Linux even better than it already is.Libra Computer Systems is a privately held company based in North Vancouver, BC, Canada.For further information, visit www.libranet.com or call Jon Danzig (604) 986-6507 or email .
