WTF cares about what distro? We just need mashines especially laptops checked against linux.
Exactly. If dell had to stand behind their warranty for linux they wouldn't be jamming ATI cards into the machines without dragging ATI through a knothole to get the drivers working and easy to install. Someone like Dell does not have to worry about whether the driver is opensource or not. As a system integrator they can install linux and then ADD the non-oss drivers and packages to their hearts content. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
