DELL offering Hardy Heron with their Systems?

Q: Regarding Dell offering Linux mainstream machines what are your views? Do you think it will affect Microsoft and Apple? In case you misunderstood me I did not mean EEEPCs. DELL is offering them on Inspiron Laptops?! Phoenix your opinion is flawed As long as the system has a standard ACPI implementation Power Management will NOT break! Proper ACPI is standardized going by your logic I wouldn't be able to use my Acer laptop system on FreeBSD but no everything works =P. In case you misunderstood me I did not mean EEEPCs.

You made up a good point Usability itself already put it out of the leagues of MAC OS X and Windows OS Moreover DELL has to put in effort for maintainability for th future Yep I think users who want Ubuntu will put in their effort to get it working on their system Efforts by DELL is commendable but redundant Users who are not savy will never get them

A: BSD- good question. No it won't effect MS or Apple. They probably welcome it, thinking it'll be another future convert for them when they hafta use the Com-line. I do see it as a positive sign that vendors are willing to ease some dedicated machines into the mix. I think that says as much about the recent developments and growth of Linux than anything else. People do see it as an alternative, and actually now know that it exists outside of the laboratory. Linus does have some growing to do. MS and Macs are not sitting still.
