Dell To Linux Users: Not So Fast

If you’re looking for a new Linux-equipped Dell laptop or desktop from the PC vendor, you may be waiting a while. Despite obvious support for the idea last week from thousands of visitors on its new customer suggestion Web site IdeaStorm, the company said it’s not yet building machines with Linux pre-loaded for the consumer and business markets.

There is no denying that this undertaking is -huge-, but Dell would be wise to act fast. It’s no surprise that there is major interest in purchasing Dell laptops preloaded with Linux… it would earn the company great respect from a different crowd. Of course the biggest hurdle would likely be making sure all the included hardware works seamlessly.
