If a company like Novell can work with hardware manufacturers so that, when someone goes into a computer store, lots of peripherals come with installation instructions for Linux users, I'd take that. Even if the instructions specify that only Novell/SuSE Linux XYZ is supported, if I know that the thing works for one Linux flavor I know it can work with the others.

I could ask the same with Red Hat, but they've given up on the retail desktop market. Maybe Novell will give it a shot.
