Morning Mr. Sudhir, With reference to your article on page 32 "Dell Latitude D600", Praveen has done a wonderful job about the same.
But when it comes to evaluating the Laptop with Linux, i should there's much to desired. He tries the same with Lindows 3.0 and states the same has failed to work with GUI/X. I do understand that an esteemed publication like yours needs to platform neutral and present the facts as-is. On this side of the line we just expect well researched facts/figures. In case your reporters need help on the same they can always dash couple of emails to me. I do take the onus of helping out if/when possible. But would humbly request well researched articles/facts/figures. One small bad review here....and one there all adds up to a mega mix of publicity we can do without. Just to let you know sir.......personally i use Red Hat Linux on my Dell Latitude and i am more than pleased. Trevor On Fri, 2003-07-11 at 21:55, Sudhir wrote: > Mr.Warren, > Thanks a lot.
