[Tim Bowden]

Lest anyone accuse Dell of supporting Linux, here is some interesting
observations on how they do it:

Dell this week received much praise for releasing a new version of its
"open source" PC. The computer fits into Dell's n Series range of
Windows-less systems. These ship with a copy of FreeDOS in the packaging
material - but not installed on the PC - which is apparently a bizarre
concession to Microsoft. While Dell garners glowing reviews for shipping
such an open source OS-friendly product, the company's new E510n
actually stands as yet another example of how hard Dell tries not to
sell non-Microsoft gear.

Me shakes my head again at the ways of the world...
