So which Linux versions is Dell pre-installing on which consumer desktop models?
If Dell offered I would buy a desktop PC with Ubuntu or Fedora (or similar) pre-installed. Or even if not preinstalled, but at least "certified" for one of these distributions. If not "certified" then what's the point? Instead just build a whitebox with quality components. I don't want a desktop PC certified for SUSE Linux or anything else with Novell's name on it. -- Dell takes small steps toward Linux http://news.com.com/Dell+takes+small+steps+toward+Linux/2100-1003_3-6162164.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr O" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Eugene Unix and Gnu/Linux User Group" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 25, 2007 6:28 PM Subject: Re: [Eug-lug] Looks like Dell is going to start pre-installing Linux HP was putting linux on their workstations long before Dell. Where you don't typically find linux is on the "desktop" models. --- Michael Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dell has always been a pioneer in this area. > Such > pioneering acts are selling Linux RHEL WS, ES and AS.
