Shuttleworth Tells Linux Users to Stop Being So Fussy For OEMs
Anonymous writes "Mark Shuttleworth says Linux users may need to stop being so fussy when putting demands on OEMs for pre-installed Linux PCs. CRN finds a response to Shuttleworth that seems to be both amusing and telling at the same time."
And then Mark Shuttleworth made the Linux community a glass of warm milk and sent them to bed...
Ah, touche...
Is this someone I relay should be concerned with telling me to settle down. Um considering Dell is actually moving towards putting Linux on desk tops, why should we settle down as it seams to be working and people are lisining. If we all sit back and just do nothing and Settle Down, then company's like Dell will not do this and we don't get linux on desk tops. Hell because of this, I may be looking at Dell for a low to medium end Linux system to replace my aging Linux system for testing and programing use. But if thye don't add linux on the system, I an't going dell, end of story.
Hmmm... I think I understand the plan here:
1. Butcher the English language nearly beyond recognition.
2. ???
3. Receive Dell desktop computer with Linux preinstalled.
or a toaster that needs C statements to process bread?
Wouldn't be so bad, just use a bakefile.
Wrong compiler.
Twitter supports and protects racists - by smearing their critics with the "Hate Speech" label.
I thought that's the whole point of linux, something complicated and hard to use, so you can show everyone how smart you are. :)
it may not be linkworthy but it sure is shuttleworthy

Just where you work, to keep your grabbenmittens out. Mine swings right open and the drives slide right in and out.

Clue must come from within, grasshoppa.
Done with slashdot, done with nerds, getting a life.
The C64 came with "BASIC V2" and "38911 BASIC BYTES", free!
Man I loved that game.
Yes. Shuttleworth is correct. The last thing we need is more Ubuntu installations. There are enough faggots already.
Missing option: Vanilla
And now all I can think of is a call to Dell Automatic Weapons Support...taking 15 minutes to determine the gun's not working because it's out of ammo...
"Now what's the service tag on your AK-47?"...
As opposed to those pesky infinite costs. I hate it when one of those sneak into your cost-per-system. One day you're doing fine but the next day all the world's money is being sucked into one of your line items.
