One of the questions: ================ 6) Which Linux distribution should Dell prioritize on? Commercial: Novell/SuSE Linux Desktop Commercial: Red Hat Enterprise Desktop Community Supported: Fedora Community Supported: OpenSUSE Community Supported: Ubuntu Other, please specify I was thinking Red Hat, because if Dell is going to have a chance with this program, it'll be with businesses or with individuals who will be doing business on their laptop. They're the ones who are going to pay money, and won't cause support headaches. But I was also thinking that Ubuntu is a slick distro that *does* have commercial support, despite what Dell indicates in their survey. In fact, Ubuntu probably has more support, commercial and community, than does Red Hat's Enterprise Desktop. So I went with Ubuntu. -todd
