I don know anything about compiling kernels. Can I just download a pre-compiled binary of Dazuko?
One of the greatest advantages of free operating systems is also for many a problem. That is, they can be customized to support exactly the hardware and features you desire thereby maximizing your system performance (and satisfaction). However, since Dazuko must load into the kernel itself, Dazuko must be compiled with exactly the same code that your kernel was compiled with. With so many different kernel configuration possibilities, it is impossible to precompile a binary for each one. Therefore, the only way you can get a compiled Dazuko is by compiling it yourself. In the future, operating system distributors may offer Dazuko as a pre-compiled binary, which has already been built for their pre-compiled kernel. SuSE Linux is one such system that already provides a pre-compiled Dazuko driver “out-of-the-box”. This makes Dazuko much easier for people to use. Hopefully Dazuko can evolve (politically) to the point where this is more common.
