Dude, I'm Getting a Dell...with Linux!

,----[ Quote ]
| Last night, my boyfriend and I customized a Dell Inspiron 530N desktop with 
| Ubuntu version 7.04 pre-installed. You may be wondering, why convert to an 
| open-source platform? We were tired of Microsoft's security issues. Plus, 
| there are still many apps and hardware that aren't compatible with Vista yet, 
| not to mention the cheapest Vista edition you can buy is $199.

Linux gains despite and because of Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| Despite the heightened competition over the last two quarters from 
| Microsoft-Novell and a move by Oracle to undercut Red Hat on the cost of Red 
| Hat Linux support service, Red Hat has reported double-digit growth in 
| revenue and an increase in profit.   
| 
| “The success of Red Hat has been able to validate the future potential for 
| open source software,” Szulik says. 
| 
| Emerging countries are also lucrative markets for Linux, says IDC’s Gillen, 
| because there isn’t as much of the legacy Windows technology to have to 
| displace.
