Has anyone followed Larry Cafiero's story on Dell selling Ubuntu computers with so many things "broken" that it is almost non-functional? No? Then that's because he probably hasn't published it yet. Screw Dell...We found out a week ago that Dell has absolutely no plans to solicit other hardware manufacturers to create drivers for Linux. None...Nada...nopers. You want a Linux-Ready Machine? Go to people like Zareason.com. Their Linux machines are superb because that is all they build is Linux machines. Now I know that there are other companies who do Linux...but really folks...Earl and Cathy live and breathe FOSS. Dell is just doing this because they painted themselves in a corner with their not-too-well-thought-out website axing us "what we expected of them." A machine with the touchpad drivers and graphics cards working would be a start Mr. Dell. Shop Zareason. They are cheaper, better and allow you to take apart your machine to upgrade it without invalidating the warranty. That's right...they even ship a screwdriver with every order wrapped in a little bow. Now how friggin' cool is that? Zareason is here to do one thing...to show that Open Source CAN work as a business model. h |

Zareason has some great desktops and some cool portables. Also, check out System76 as well: http://www.system76.com |
