<para>While on the discussion about the demo page that was setup by jdd at

said that TLDP as it currently exist should now retire as most
|

of the HOWTOs (including ones authored by him) are not needed anymore, since the

linux

distros and other opensource apps have started producing excellent

saying <quote>There is more need than ever for HOWTOs covering hardware.
|
||||
The apps
|
||||
seldom cover hardware and if they do, may not cover it adequately.
|
||||
One problem is that there is a lot of hardware that doesn't work with
|
||||
Linux due to Windows-only drivers. In other cases the hardware will
|
||||
work under Linux but doesn't have all its features supported by the
|
||||
Linux driver. Also, some hardware is defective in design, but will
|
||||
still work if the driver has a workaround. Currently, there's only
|
||||
limited coverage of hardware by HOWTOs and much of it is
|
||||
out-of-date.</quote></para>
