"In response to overwhelming user demand for Linux, Dell has posted a survey on a company blog that asks 'PC users to choose between Linux flavors such as Novell and openSUSE". More at: http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/linux
Of course Dell is smart enough to realize that web polls are worth a pile of something warm and stinky.... but anything that will draw people to their site is worth doing. If you don't have a legitimate interest/intention in buying a Dell with Linux preloaded then you shouldn't vote in the survey; a stuffed ballot box is obvious to anyone. Which I think explains: "overwhelming user demand for Linux" in the first place, but... it got them an appearance on Slashdot. Score one for the Dell marketing department. I'm not going to vote because (a) I'm never going to buy a Dell and (b) I don't care what OS comes preloaded since I'm going to wipe it anyway and reinstall. Anyone who matches (a) *or* (b) should also refrain from voting. --- Adam Tauno Williams Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
