The driver vendors are supposed to focus on the Linux kernel, not on a 
specific distribution.

Applications will likely continue to be a sticky issue as long as the 
applications are closed source and only supported on specific 
distributions.  Note that under the Open Source model most of these 
issues have been sorted out and popular applications run on most 
popular distributions (indeed, on most popular UNIX-ish OS's)

By purchasing closed source applications we're only perpetuating the 
conflict in paradigms.
