Ok,
let the beginner questions begin: The RedHat site says there is no SoundCard
and scanner support on AlphaLinux. Is this true? To what extent?I mostly
have plain SB-16s in my Alphas an I also have a few HP-ScanJet 4c scanners
that were the only scanners that ran on AlphaNT since day one . .
Thanks
Peter Lizon
