Hi lugs,
|
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Sorry for the cryptic headline but wanted to keep the suspense; sorry for
|
| 17 |
crossposting too but this is important!

/Dell has announced it WILL be shipping preinstalled Desktop Linux on certain
|
| 20 |
machines, desktop and laptop/ - more details will follow later.
|
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Happily, it seems that "[s]urvey respondents indicated that improved hardware
|
| 23 |
support for Linux is as important as the distribution(s) offered".
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
So, don't expect to see your favourite distribution on a Dell Linux laptop
|
| 26 |
anytime soon - unless it's Ubuntu ;-) - but hey, IT'S LINUX.
|
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Unfortunately, as stated above there are no more details as yet but they will
|
| 29 |
be making more announcements in the coming weeks.

UPDATE: just had to add "preinstalled" to Kmail's dictionary! (Oh, and Ubuntu
|
| 32 |
- never mind ;-) ) <does a little dance>.
|
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
OK, silly season over, get back to work ;-)
