They are naturally pulling out of this market because they were among the few remaining suppliers that still sold Prism2 cards which were usable in Linux. The other suppliers like D-Link and SMC had much better soloutions in place for delivering windows only hardware and changing chipsets from time to time to discourage reverse engineering.:->

Not because of this at least. A great post to usenet made in the early 90's sometime. I didn't find the original post, only a repost from 95. Still, it is funny to see how their enterprise unix compared to linux back then.
I'd would suggest ThinkTanks as it's reasonably cheap, runs on Linux, Mac and Windows and is easy and fun to play. I downloaded and played the demo for a couple of days before ordering the full version. Love it. Good for firing up for an half hour (or 5) and getting in a few rounds of scrum

Well, don't have the article handy, but the Fortune 500 companies may be large, but a lot of them did (some still do) not have major websites, just an advertising front.:)
There is the matter of the other letter announced at the same time as the one mentioned above. Which lists a number of files in the linux kernel. This has been debunked by Linus (and probably others).
Oh, come on! Both notebooks and desktops ultimately run on DC. and there are DC-DC atx powersupplies. Mini-ITX also does DC-DC conversion of some sort. A slight problem with the laptop powersupplies and charging is that they assume "unlimited" power is available when plugged in. They are also configured to do so. Your Dell (and mine) and most other laptops can be made far more economical with their power consumption by setting the "On AC Power" settings to the low performance/low power values.
Stepping down to a previous generation of laptops might prove worthwhile since a lot of modern laptops have hotter cpus (both literally and in power consumption) and not much improvement in the battery department.
A Dell C810 with batteries from the C840 series is very nice wrt. power usage.:)
This survey does look rather unprofessional. The questions are a tad unbalanced and doesn't really seem well thought out. For instance the two cluster related questions limits you to 8 nodes in your cluster. Also I'm not sure what to make of these questions:
low price and greater complexity vs little easy setup and administration with high price easy setup & lousy administration vs difficult setup and great administration
since both seem to imply that you can only get one or the other. I don't feel the questions really describes the current situation with Windows vs. Linux in more than a very superficial way. Also I take isssue with the comparison being against 2003 which relatively few people have any experience with yet. The alternatives for desktop linux use look random as well.
My guess is that the survey is either a hoax or some department outsourced a request for information in linux vs windows.
Regular filesystems on flash memory is probably not a sterling idea due to a limited number of writecycles available. I'm not sure of the merits of using FAT on flash memory other than the fact that it's widely supported (Maybe not for much longer.:-P). Still there is a filesystem available called jffs2 that is designed for flash. Support for reading jffs2 on the other desktop platforms is probably unlikely with GPL phobia and all:)
Undeleting on ext2 is possible with for instance recover while it is afaik impossible on ext3. recover on ext2 does have its limits but it has saved my skin a couple of times.;)

You got to know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em, know when to walk away and know when to run.

Whether or not you want your laptop cremated depends on your personal data, but planning ahead is definitely recommended.
