Sorry but I have to say this, that attitude is one of the reasons 
many people won't try/don't stick with Linux. It's entirely negative 
and does nothing other than tell someone that in your opinion they 
aren't worthy of being allowed into the group.

I took the question as related to his earlier one regarding drivers 
for his capture card/device - as in "should I upgrade my kernel to 
support it ?". As such it's not totally irrelevant here (though a 
Video 4 Linux list/forum would be more appropriate).

This guy is clearly new around these parts and lost. A helpful 
response would be to point him in the right direction, not wave a 
shotgun and shout "get orrf me land" !
