Re: [LUAU] Dell releasing pre-installed consumer Linux machines today
Are you questioning whether people would actually buy Linux pre-installed? Or whether people would actually buy a Dell laptop which is hardware support for Linux by Dell? No, I'm asking whether anyone here is actually planning to buy one. -- Hawaiian Astronomical Society: http://www.hawastsoc.org HAS Deepsky Atlas: http://www.hawastsoc.org/deepsky ___ LUAU@lists.hosef.org mailing list http://lists.hosef.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luau

Or whether people would actually buy a Dell laptop which is hardware support for Linux by Dell? I have an Inspiron 6000 which has the same casing as the e1505... The main difference is the processor as multi-core processors didn't exist back then when I was in the market to buy a new laptop. I also picked the model that I have because it was well supported (non-Windows OS wise) with an Intel chipset, Intel integrated graphics and drivers... Over time, things have improved as well such as the SD card reader works, suspend/hibernate works nicely and the promise of better battery life with the 2.6.21 kernel. So I applaud the fact that Dell has brought out hardware supported consumer machines.
