More Pleasant Surprises with Ubuntu

,----[ Quote ]
| As I continue to test and work with Ubuntu, I have come across a few more 
| very pleasant surprises: 
| 
| - I plugged in my Logitech V20 Notebook Speakers (USB). They worked.
| 
| - I plugged in my Logitech QuickCam for Notebooks Deluxe. It worked. No muss, 
| no fuss, so searching for drivers, it just worked. 
| 
| - I plugged in my Canon BJC-55 printer. It worked. I printed a test page on 
| it, and it came out perfect. This really is getting quite impressive. 
| 
| - I plugged in my Philips SPC1300NC webcam, and although it is recognized and 
| identified correctly, it doesn't seem to work. This is a bit surprising, 
| since it is a UVC-compatible device, I'll have to look into it a bit more.

| I then click print in Evince and out comes the document.  Done.  You know, 
| people still insist on telling me that they don’t want to run Linux because 
| its harder, or that Windows XP just works for what they want to do.  Are you 
| kidding me?  Just this evening it took me twice as much work to *try* and 
| print something, which never worked.  Ubuntu “just worked”… go figure.
