No, mainly because Dell absolutely refuses to help with anything. When I
talk to them about this their inevitable reply is "How will this help us
sell xxx more boxes next quarter?" With a company that is this
near-sighted, there's not much hope.

Don't count on the Dells of the world. It is the LinuxNetworx, LinuxLabs,
and cluster-labs.de of the world that think ahead. We just need to find
their equivalent in the laptop companies.
