If it hadn't been for the glowing reviews of how seamlessly it supported Linux, and the suggestions if not outright claims on the website that it was designed with Linux support in mind, I wouldn't have.

It doesn't sound ridiculous to me that someone might decide to target the Linux market really well even though others haven't. I had hoped that was what had happened. Maybe I wanted to believe it more than I should have believed it.

But that's the motivation behind my posting here, to save anyone from making the same mistake.

I have a $1700 paperweight. Oh well. But that doesn't mean I want anyone else to make the same mistake.
