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.
