"Is Dell is on its way to becoming the first tier-one PC vendor to offer a mainstream business Linux desktop to US customers? ...the PC maker may be quietly becoming the first major player to offer easy and relatively affordable way to buy a modern business Linux desktop in the United States. "

I think it's pretty cool giving users an alternative to Windows. As much as I like Windows I think this is a good idea.
IIRC (from a post Stealth made a year ago or so) Dell has offered Linux for a while now, as stated in the news article.
I'd love to see Linux go mainstream. If it gets terrible in the exploits and such, it may be motivation to finally re-install to FreeBSD! :D
Hm, from what I had seen it had only advertised Windows. Maybe we will start seeing it being packaged and advertised using some Linux flavor.
Haha, didn't know that. That's pretty nice. :)
Even though it's awesome they're doing this, most users that use Linux will want to install it themselves anyway.

Current Linux users aren't goinig to care about this. It's new Linux users that this can benefit.

Hehe, good point.
Just as long as they make it a non shitty distro. Linspire is a terrible rip off -.-

I can't read off a computer screen. It's difficult :(. Red Hat can suck my balls.
