[ale] Microcenter sells a PC loaded with Linux! of 20)

[Lightner, Jeff]

Dell also has a support team for Linux server systems (e.g. those running RHEL and Suse).

Several years ago that support seemed very bad but somewhere along the line actually seemed to hire or train people that know more about Linux than how to spell it.   I don't know how good they are for the Ubuntu systems.

Dell has been offering their OptiPlex workstations with Ubuntu for a while, now.
Too bad that is the only option.  The good thing is that it means they have hardware tested/capable of running on Linux with a minimal amount of tinkering.

Probably. OTOH, I thought seeing Fry's Electronics online ads on some Android notebooks.

The trouble with being punctual is that people think you have nothing more important to do.

Does this mean M$ is slowly sinking. I here more companies are selling a Linux box or two (usually Ubuntu) as if they are beginning to hedge their bets on Windows.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
