I'd have to say its definatly not important to me. As it is, I never use a 'generic' install, so I wouldn't want to have a preinstalled version. Just means that there are going to be a bunch of factory default root passwords out there coming off the Dell assembly line. (I guess they could randomize it or prompt for a new password on first boot, but my guess is they won't). |

So being that this is a Gentoo list, I'm going to go with a guess that nobody on here has the same install between them, because.. well its Gentoo :) |

And second have you bought a windows machine from DELL anytime recently, they load them full of their crap and you pretty much have to do a fresh install anyways to get rid of it. I'm willing to bet they'll do the same to Linux preinstall as well. |

Would I like to see Linux prosper, sure. This may even be a good step for it, but its not really relevent to this list. |
