In Brazil we can easily buy a PC with linux, sometimes a terrible distro inside, and you are right about the buyers soon change for windows
like for the netbooks some said "hourrah, we can have XP in place of Linux", because the linux installed was odd.
May be in Brazil the situation is different. I'm pretty sure the people that replace Linux by windows don't pay the $200 bill corresponding but use "free" one!
the best thing we could do should be to target one computer make and issue an install dvd certified for this make. But this should be done by country (localisation mandatory) and I don't think we have the man power to do that. Don't forget many openSUSE applications *don't work at all* because we couldn't test all sufficiently.
testing the install is the first thing to do, we iobviously don't have enough testers

I would like to launch my own brand of computers test the hardware and also sell the compatible accesories to go with it. 90%+ Wifi works I would say 99-100% of network and sound works (if you ignore pulseaudio). I can purchase a range of prebuilt unbranded computers without operating systems from £99+ trade I am going to order one of each next week and see how well they work. I will feed back the results. -- Kind Regards Stuart Tanner Bolton Linux Delivering openSUSE Retail to the UK 24 Vincent Street Bolton BL1 4SA Tel: +44-1204-410474 Mob: +44-7868-028028 www.bolin.org.uk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
