As I responded in the other list, there is a fatal flaw in this advertisement: it does not have a disclaimer/warning that some hardware may not work with Ubuntu (or any Linux distro for that matter) and so it is giving people the very wrong impression. While Ubuntu may work well on Dell, and every other make, what other hardware is attached to that Dell (or other make) may not work - for example, most Canon printers and scanners etc. BC -- And God created Woman; and to repent He then created Beer. -- ubuntu-au mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
