Re: touchscreen support in Debian?

REALLY?  you have 30 days to return it.  if you want unix and 
touchscreen get an Apple.

don't use debian haphazardously (without knowing full well what can 
happen / if it will work) thinking you'll save time or money.  that's 
not what linux is for.  doing so could easily leave you no-where, even 
with a computer you can't personally fix, after days.

if you are worried about money return it get an (apple).  if not, then 
of course they say, "hacking is no crime" :)  (do they say that still?)
