A big hurray for Linux users. I know my biggest issue while using Linux was getting my wireless card working. Most of the Laptops that I have used have been Broadcom chipset. In which I could only get working with Ndiswrapper. Which basically takes a working windows driver and wraps it up so it could be used via Linux. Before I was comfortable enough to dig into Linux and go the Ndiswrapper route I went out and bought a wireless PCMCIA card that I knew would be supported.
After being on Linux for a month or so I realized how easy it was to get my internal wireless card working. I felt like a sellout. That was about $40 down the drain, because of laziness.
