1 Hi lugs,
2
3 Sorry for the cryptic headline but wanted to keep the suspense; sorry for
4 crossposting too but this is important!
5
6 /Dell has announced it WILL be shipping preinstalled Desktop Linux on certain
7 machines, desktop and laptop/ - more details will follow later.
8
9 Happily, it seems that "[s]urvey respondents indicated that improved hardware
10 support for Linux is as important as the distribution(s) offered".
11
12 So, don't expect to see your favourite distribution on a Dell Linux laptop
13 anytime soon - unless it's Ubuntu ;-) - but hey, IT'S LINUX.
14
15 Unfortunately, as stated above there are no more details as yet but they will
16 be making more announcements in the coming weeks.
17
18 UPDATE: just had to add "preinstalled" to Kmail's dictionary! (Oh, and Ubuntu
19 - never mind ;-) ) <does a little dance>.
20
21 OK, silly season over, get back to work ;-)
