Even if it were, it's Dell's choice which version of Linux to offer (if at all). And even if a manufacturer decides to offer Linux, it's usually only offered on a limited range of models.
Quite right, and I'm not sure how to improve that situation right away.
I'm a Linux fan. SuSE, specifically. I have it on three machines here at home -- a laptop (on which I'm typing this), a workstation, and our domain controller. That said, it amazes me that fellow Linux enthusiasts often miss an important issue when they complain about the predominance of Windows. PEOPLE WANT IT. Not everybody's just like us.
Virtually everyone who has a computer with Windows on it could have Linux for free, yet they pay for Windows instead. We howl because manufacturers put Windows on virtually all the PCs they sell, but they do it because PEOPLE WANT IT.
People "want" Windows, because they don't know any better. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
