One reason I believe why DELL wouldn't do that is because DELL is not only a consumer PC company. It also supplies OEM systems to large corporations where they care absolutely nothing whether an OS is Open source or Propreitary. I believe in short, these large companies have better things to do than to care whether it's free or non-free. Added to it are people who do not have time to read man pages and are asked to submit stuffs "YESTERDAY". This added heat makes competition healthier. A good sign I believe in making Linux even more better than them. ;) I do not think Linux will become main player tomorrow. It'll be more like it'll continue to increase but very slowly compared to other major OSes but GROW IT WILL. -- Cheers, Bikal. GPG: 0x5DAE3BE5 "Rule 6: There is no Rule 6." - Rob Pike
