There's been a thread about this going on here for a week or two,
see subject: Dell UK's new 'Open Source' laptop, here or through Google
Groups. Nobody actually having bought one though.

Thanks Andy,

I am a clot - I put "desktop thread" in my original post, but I meant the
*laptop thread* (sorry). I appreciate that no-one is likely to have hands
on experience of the desktop box yet, - even so, I am interested to know,
what people think about it, just in terms of value for money or experience
of any of its components.
