I'm a Linux user, and it would be useful if Aria could include a \"Linux Supported\" logo or similar information to the product info.

Just to be clear, I'm not after actual support from Aria, but some information about the existence of Linux support for particular devices would be nice.

Alternatively, additional technical details would also help. I know, for example, that Wi-fi cards using the RA2500 chipset are supported - this kind of info, when available, would help me greatly when buying.

Another example - I'm looking at buying a webcam, but info on Linux support is mostly keyed to chipset type, or relates to specific models not stocked by Aria.

The amount of technical info on the new website seems to be less than before, though. Perhaps this is a migration issue from the old CMS.

Anyway, like the new website, and I haven't seen any of the problems reported by others, despite using Firefox on Linux.

well, on occasions I used to give a little Linux info to RobD in response to customer comments that he emailed me. But Rob Left Aria to travel Europe :D

Fact is I'm probably the only Linux person at Aria, and Sadly I would not have time to add linux notes to products.
If Linux is mentioned in the Manufacturs 'front page' blurb it will end up on Aria.

If not www.google.com/linux is your friend, and I usually find that Linux users are smart enougth to figure out things for themselves

I hear you ref More detail in the tech specs, I'm a Technophile info junky myself
Some of the generic products are a little difficult to spec up on the site, not so much getting the detail, it is more to do with the fact our source and therefor often the Manufacture changes, so the specs have to be left a little Open

seantellis , I bought a Lantech 108b/g Wireless PCI card and it uses the Ralink RT2500 chip set and works great. And it's one of the cheapest on the site.8)
