Dell Sells Open Source Computers
Lo5 writes with the excellent news that Dell is selling desktop computers without Windows preinstalled. They are called "n Series"; you can choose from Dimension E520, E521, or C521 desktops. The hard drive comes unformatted.
what's your fuckin' point?
How we know is more important than what we know.
No, you're just a complete idiot. Why would they need to "port" to a DELL machine? Does DELL have magic pixies instead of processors or something? Moron.
And promotes ouR Lube. T4is can lead
This guy found an E520 (the Intel core 2 with 1G RAM) with a smaller hard drive and Windoze that was $240 cheaper. That difference should get a lot of hard drive these days, so you are paying the Windoze tax and then some as usual for Dell.
Something makes me think they just want to avoid the Windoze refund and sucker a lot of people at the same time. Boooo.
Friends don't help friends install M$ junk.
Woot - they did not get that big on low margins now did they? I hope you buy a dozen of them. The $600 price is about $200 more than I paid on the last computer I bought and built myself. But hey, a guy like the Bungi can afford to pay more for less.
On second thought - don't buy a dozen. You will pass the cost on to someone I might have to do business with.
