Dell Opens a Poll On Linux Options

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday March 13, 2007 @08:52AM from the you-asked-for-it dept.

narramissic writes "In response to overwhelming user demand for Linux, Dell has posted a survey on a company blog that asks 'PC users to choose between Linux flavors such as Fedora and Ubuntu, and to pick more general choices such as notebooks versus desktops, high-end models versus value models and telephone-based support versus community-based support.' Votes will be collected through March 23, and Dell plans to use the feedback to begin selling Linux-based consumer PCs." The poll is pretty minimal. Wonder how much it will really guide Dell's choices.

Linux will cost you more, so why bother? by bluskye · 2007-03-13 09:36 · Score: 0, Troll

No Windows eh? Ok, pay the cost difference for not having crapware that subsidizes your cost of the machine. You are just fucking yourselves by requesting Linux/No OS option ... tack on another $30 or so to the cost of the machine. There shall now be a Linux Tax. Oh, you linux users didn't know how business works? Should have taken some business courses in school instead.
