Ubuntu Failure Story

A friend of mine mailed this morning to tell me about his complete and
utter failure to make Ubuntu work with some hardware, so I have
published his brief report here:

I think it makes a change to hear about these things because we get a
lot of awesome reports from users (i've had nothing but success on my
hardware) and it helps keep things in perspective to see that there is
still plenty of work to be done if we are gonna pull in users.

No doubt installing Windows XP on the same machine would prove equally,
if not more painful, but Ubuntu needs a higher standard, because it is
us that have to convert users to increase market share, not them...
