My main computer is a Mac - I have a PC for gaming.]]>Aug 13th 2007 5:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/
I thought open source free software should SAVE you money?!?

My tests = it costs more.

Please correct/flame me if I have made a mistake...]]>Aug 20th 2007 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/Aug 13th 2007 4:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/Aug 13th 2007 8:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/Aug 13th 2007 9:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/(warning : flamebait ahead)
nobody use linux but a bunch of nerds and techies,just admit it!.
(end warning).

But in server line works fine and you can choose between windows, linux or freedos (os-less).

Can I take any of those pre-linux installed pcs, wipe em out, get a ubuntu cd from a trusted source and reinstall without running into issues?

Windows or Linux, I don't trust pre-installs, case in point I don't know -what- was pre-installed, legit or not (keyloggers/trojans/etc). And don't say it's because it's a name brand that it's fine, Dell or another, noone is beyond corrupt employees.

Right now I'm looking into a notebook for use with linux, can't really get one without knowing it'll work.]]>Aug 13th 2007 5:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/Aug 15th 2007 1:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/13/dell-taking-linux-equipped-machines-international/It will be a headache for them and for dell which will probably have to give support to many angry costumers who cant understand crap of ubuntu.]]>Aug 14th 2007 10:29AM
