When Michael Dell took back the reins of he company he founded, one of
the first things he did was to launch the feedback site Dell Idea Storm.
Following up on the recent Slashdot discussion of the early results of
this experiment — an overwhelming expressed desire for pre-loaded Linux
— Dell reports on what it plans to do with this feedback. Quoting: "[W]e
are working with Novell to certify our corporate client products for
Linux, including our OptiPlex desktops, Latitude notebooks and Dell
Precision workstations. [On the question of which distro to choose:]
"[T]here is no single customer preference for a distribution of Linux...
We want users to have the opportunity to help define the market for
Linux on desktop and notebook systems. In addition to working with
Novell, we are also working with other distributors and evaluating the
possibility of additional certifications across our product line."
