Sorry for the cryptic headline but wanted to keep the suspense; sorry for |
4 |
crossposting too but this is important! |

/Dell has announced it WILL be shipping preinstalled Desktop Linux on certain |
7 |
machines, desktop and laptop/ - more details will follow later. |

Happily, it seems that "[s]urvey respondents indicated that improved hardware |
10 |
support for Linux is as important as the distribution(s) offered". |

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. |

Unfortunately, as stated above there are no more details as yet but they will |
16 |
be making more announcements in the coming weeks. |

UPDATE: just had to add "preinstalled" to Kmail's dictionary! (Oh, and Ubuntu |
19 |
- never mind ;-) ) <does a little dance>. |

OK, silly season over, get back to work ;-) |
