Why ? Because Linux allready has drivers for most GFX-cards ?

Linux also has drivers for most printers, but IrseeSoft is
still trying to sell TurboPrint for Linux.

Both should be possible if those drivers are better than the
free ones. This is the case with TurboPrint and this might also
be the case with some of the GFX-drivers as some manufactors are
only supplying closed-source and x86-only drivers for Linux.
(nVidia for example).

Sorry only german, but the article reports that the OS4-SNAP will
ported by Hyperion, based on the Linux-SNAP ported by SciTech
from their OS/2-version.
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

SNAP is closed too, and I can't see them being as fast as NVidia's drivers.  And as I said before, where is the 3D support?


Yeap, but where are nVidia's divers for PPC ?  ;-)

AFAIK Hyperion are supposed to do the 3D-support for all
"SNAPped" platforms.
