Re: [Fwd: [OT] Dell Confirmed its move !!!]



Dear Debianists:
Figured some people here who have been looking for Laptops recently might
be interested in this tidbit of information from Dell.

Indeed, it is good news. Note, however, that the site says ``we are
working with Novell to certify our corporate client products for
Linux''. This says nothing about pre-installation.

However, even if they only work with Novell to verify working drivers
and generally making sure there's enough hardware info to allow Free
Software to access and use all the systems' capabilities, this is wonderful.

Best wishes,

Max Hyre
