1. Comment - Dell to Ship Linux on Desktops, Laptops

   (Mar 30, 2007 - 8:30 PM)

   I do hope Dell make these premium Linux-equipped systems available over here in Australia. If I could buy a Dell/Linux laptop straight off the shelf, I would almost certainly do so straight away.
   
   As for which distro, I have had excellent results with SUSE 10.x on several laptops & desktops, although Distrowatch.com stats suggest that Ubuntu is now the more popular and still on the rise.
   
   But I would not be picky. Given the choice of ANY recent Linux distro to ANY recent Windows version, I'd take the Linux almost every time.
   
   This is not to say that the Micro$oft Vista range does not also have a place. It does, and that place, as far as I'm concerned is the garbage bin.
   
   Not only would I not buy Vista; I would not want to use it even if it was free, or even if they paid me!
   
   "The WOW starts now, eh?" Great, I'll bear that in mind.
   
   Anyone that's read this far in my mini-rant deserves a change of pace - check out this cool ad that Novell have produced to promote Linux:

   Dell's commitment to Linux is to be encouraged & applauded.
