I wish they were doing more than just home and offering Ubuntu some for their business models. Then I got to thinking, and all three models they are offering it with have nVidia video cards, while some business models such as the Optiplex only come with ATI video cards. I've had nothing but problems with ATI cards in Ubuntu since Dapper (and it just keeps getting worse), but nVidia cards work absolutely great (such as on my Precision 690, which had the nVidia option at purchase) with very little effort to set them up, even for dual screens. So, smart thinking for Dell methinks. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
