Is Dell Bad for Ubuntu?

Posted by: Regeneration on: 05/15/2007 05:50 AM [ Print | 5 comment(s) ] · 1203 views

Many people have become excited for Ubuntu's upcoming release on Dell computers, and while it is certainly good news there are a few causes for concern. Very few details have emerged so far so it is not completely clear what impact Dell with have on the thriving Ubuntu community, but questions are coming concerning support, logistics, pricing, and a number of other areas that are affected by the deal. The deal will have an appreciable impact on the future of desktop Linux and its availability from tier one manufacturers so there is a lot at stake.

because Dell is sometimes cheaper than building your own box, if it's mainly used for things that come with Ubuntu

even taking a custom box out of the equation, who in their right mind would buy dull. I would buy an HP or some shit before that. The only wise thing dull has done has been to start using AMD. But they don't get a cookie for that, nor any business from me or anyone I associate with.

Odd, I thought HP went down in customer satisfaction, below Gateway/Emachines recently, no?

Not concerned about that. I have more confidence in the hardware they use than dull (particular models),
especially when it comes to laptops. I like the acers and the turion HPs are pretty good.
