 They alwatys say that. I heard it first on DOS4, then OS/2... now
Linux. Oddly, Windows has never had trouble with hardware/drivers/bios
on the same machines. I might even believe it, except that Linux has
done it on three separate machines, now.

 I don't know if it's X, btw... just that it does it with both the
KDE and Gnome GUI... maybe it's them.
