How can you tell? Well, for starters, you can buy the same system with a hard disk twice the size with a 17" LCD monitor and Windows Media Center Edition for the same price.
More importantly, the 510n comes with an ATI card that will be difficult to get to work properly with X.org (dunno if Xi Graphics is still in business), whereas the 510 uses an Intel chipset that, while not great, will probably work better.
And why not simply install a popular Linux distribution on it from the get go? They could "brand" it simply by adding a package with Dell-logo wallpapers, themes, and icon sets.

Many DNS requests come back with abnormally short or long TTL, or are configured to provide unknown record types - types apart from MX, A, CNAME. This is generally indicative of a noncompliant server or a DNS attack attempt.
When this happens, our own product throws away any records apart from A, CNAME and MX and puts them into a default record structure. The default structure has a 14 day TTL, however we felt sustaining the sanitized record was preferable to reproducing data that could be hazardous to DNS clients. Since many of our largest customers are ISPs, this protection is especially important.
You can't imagine what this last year has been like for me. I'd like to see you try
and simplify the kind of a rodeo I've been on. I've squeezed this tiny little company
for millions in salary while utterly destroying any chance of a future it's had. And
in doing so, I've made dozens of other millionaires and paupers alike. You try and
simplify that kind of thing into an analogy.
As if all that weren't enough, I've tried to bring you people gold, and getting my
home IP banned from Slashdot was my only thanks.
This will be my last post to Slashdot as Mr. Darl McBride. Mod it up or mod it down,
I don't much care anymore. I'm going back to my simple ranch hand ways while Boies and
Sontag round up the rest of whatever's left for our ginormous IP firesale, if there's
even anything there to capitalize on anymore.
Thanks to those of you who have moderated me up in the past, those of you who took
the time for pithy and cute replies even if you didn't like me, and those who lightened
up enough to have a laugh instead of freaking. It's been like... like... it's been like
nothing else.
If you have any unwanted offers from "Opt In Real Big" (the most recent major campaign was the "Tail Wagging Offers" thing), save those and get ready to offer them up to Ironport as evidence.
Opt In Real Big claims to be an opt-in only company. However, they operate through third parties with no checks in place to ensure the third parties are using opt-in lists, paying those parties based on how many people click their links. Making it a <fingerquote> policy </fingerquote> gives them plausible deniability up until people start laying down evidence that they're full of shit.

That is ALL that I needed to see. This is finally a PDA I want!
I mean seriously -- that it's running Linux is an excellent plus. But for a pocketable display like that, I'd still have bought it if it ran Tandy Deskmate!
I'd run this damned thing with Lindows^H^H^H^Hspire!!!
With a few exceptions, such as the System management tools, most of these features can be found in a normal linux system. I'm obviously missing something here?
A standardized configuration with very specific and well-documented apps. One of Linux's big problems is also its greatest benefit -- lots of options. That's great if you're tuning a system for your use, but not so great if you're trying to support it.
What Sun does next will determine how well this will work. If they're just trying to offer a desktop which they can sell support for, then this won't go much of anywhere.
If they focus on selling certification and support documentation and training, this could make the Linux desktop infinitely more digestible to the enterprise, who want to be able to hire cheap and interchangeable developers and support personnel.
I don't get it. First, Slashdot users are complaining about companies not following standards. Then when the companies cave and give us lots of standards, that's not so good anymore.
Most high end DVI LCDs also have a VGA input. Look at something like the Viewsonic vp201mb. It's 1600x1200, very fast response rate (fine for gaming), and you can use the front panel to swap between DVI and VGA cables in two button presses.
You can get USB switches for under $10 shipped, and between the two you have a lossless display switch.
If you go the KVM route with DVI, you're limited to lower datarate DVI modes. No 1600x1200 or Apple Cinema display support that I'm aware of. If you go the KVM route with VGA, you still experience significant signal loss unless you get a shorter monitor cable and VERY short cables between the KVM and the PCs.
Yeah, VNC is pretty useless for anything but casual maintenance use.
Even when it's the only thing running, it's pretty sluggish. I tried using it to display a 2GHz Windows box on my 3GHz Linux box over gigabit ethernet, and even at near-zero CPU load on both boxes, it was still painful. You type things in Visual Studio and they take half a second to appear on the client machine.
Dr. Bott makes a pretty inexpensive mechanical DVI+USB switch. Like most of them, it's only good for up to 1280x1024 panels. They used to advertise it as being okay for Cinema displays, but enough people had problems owing to the extra cable length not being tolerated well for the higher signaling rate that they withdrew the claim.

Dell's just grubbing for some positive press.

I'm the only one who misread "attends" as "attacks?"

Why, did Lindows come out on top as the only user of FAT16 or something?

I bet Samsung has a downloadable manual, or that you can mail their tech support and ask.
Maybe it's got to do with .NET drawing all of its own widgets and everything instead of using the system defaults, which are easier to hook.
Possible too that it would have worked better if I didn't use it maximized.

I think I've gotten the two confused. Yeah, I'm thinking of Netforce. God, what a glorious film.
Can you honestly tell me you haven't seen or heard of this man every bit as often as Richard M Stalin or Linux Torvalds? We are greater in death.
I think Synapse was the satellite network, and Janus was the browser & content system he was using to spread its control.
