Hi Juan,

Thanks for the work, it's very readable, even for non-linux users. :)
I have one remark though;

more.

I support GSR's remark on his statement. DRI drivers are a Linux user's =20=

choice, especially when they prefer to use non-proprietary software on =20=

their system. Some people strive for a 100% free operating system, no =20=

reason to make biased remarks on that in our FAQ.

Thanks,
