[Gllug] dell rolling out linux?

[Khusro Jaleel]

Hi Jason,

Hmm, if the article said US only I didn't notice it. In the end I don't
really know what kind of response they will get here. Do a lot of people
here in UK want linux on their desktop? I know some government departments
and enterprises might.

I can imagine a PC World-type advert for Dell on TV where the customer asks:

"This is the latest Intel Core Duo blah de blah ...."
"Does it come with Vista?"
"No it comes with Linux!"
"Great! I'll take one!" :-)
