Hot on the heels of our Dell story yesterday, the computer maker has
announced plans to release PCs and laptops that ship with the Linux
operating system.

I will believe it when I see it. If it's true and Dell offers this
I'll buy a cheap Linux desktop to help support this initiative.


Well I won't do this but I will definitely opt for it when I need
another dell. I wish last year when I got several dells, they had
this option tho I'm satisfied with xp.
