9:40 AM EST 		For one, I have no idea what "As the base software of IT system, Asianux has gotten full support" means. Does this mean that they spoke with someone on a Dell technical support line who told them that Dell computers will, in fact, work with Linux?

To be honest, companies just *love* to put up who they "work with". Just because I've gotten "full support" from AMD to put one of their processors in the socket on my motherboard doesn't make me a valued AMD partner.

How did you hear about this if you're living in a cave?

China's a vast rice bowl of manna for these OEMs. No legal Windows in sight, a gov't that's going out of its way to keep it that way by pumping Linux onto every box that's sold, and presumably not a single communist left in the country.If I ran an OEM, I'd be drooling to get into it.

Strange world. IT salvation from Red China. Who'd 'a thunk it?
