Why wait for Dell ??? Do you think it is the only Linux-PC-seller in the world ? It is not because they come into the news very often, that it is the only one. There are better and cheaper solutions then Dell.

Hello, I was desperately searching the web this afternoon for a laptop without Windows preinstalled, for less than 600€, for some friends who asked where they could buy this, but also for me. Finally, I was so annoyed by the fact that Dell only offers preinstalled Ubuntu in France, Germany and the UK, that I decided to write an email to Dell Belgium. But then, browsing their site, a PopUp suddenly offered me a live chat with a "Dell-expert"! I accepted and found myself talking to Pascal_Lissane_Eddine. I explained my problem and my annoyement to him and asked him why it was not possible to have this offer in Belgium and he replied this: 04:45:08 PM: Pascal_Lissane_Eddine: *c'est prévu pour les jours à venir* ("it is planned in the forthcoming days") 04:45:22 PM: Pascal_Lissane_Eddine: *mais on ne sait pas encore la date.* ("but we don't yet know a date") I asked for more information, asked him in how many days/weeks/months it would be available, all I got was: 05:00:29 PM: Pascal_Lissane_Eddine: *J'aimerai bien avoir une date, je reçois plusieurs demandes par jour.* ("I'd like to have a date, I get several requests per day") Then, I asked if it was eally certain or just "planned": 05:00:29 PM: Pascal_Lissane_Eddine: *Non, c'est sur.* ("No, it's certain.") I thanked him, after what he closed the conversation... This is really good News! I invite you to go and vote on the dell idea storm http://www.ideastorm.com/ or post in their community forum, so that they sense the belgian demand... greets, Pierre -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] You can find list info and your subscription configuration options at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be No virus found in this outgoing message.
