Hi, I've just come back from an interesting visit to my retailer. One of my FreeBSD laptop's screen went white and burned out. When I turned it back on it was ok. But I took it back to the retailer (still under warranty) and was told that FreeBSD and Linux are illegitimate Operating systems' and it was probably the driver that caused the screen to burn out. I tried to explain that the FreeBSD drivers don't destroy laptop screens but he insisted on saying that Micr$oft was the only legitimatly designed O.S and FreeBSD was written by UNQUALIFIED hacks. Point of the story? Retailers don't like it when there is a warranty issue, they just don't like handing over a new laptop and admitting that yours was faulty.
