ZaReason (and Other Independents) Outshine the Big Boys

,----[ Quote ]
| Dell, ASUS, Acer, and all the other bandwagoning coattail riders are getting
| all the headlines for selling desktop Linux preinstalls, especially on this
| new netbook wave. Sure, having Tier 1 vendors on board means wider exposure
| for Linux, and for a lot of people more legitimacy. It's exciting and cool,
| and the price and feature competition is a nice thing.
|
| But let's not forget that these bandwagoning coattail-riding party-crashers
| are very late to the party, and have been whining and foot-dragging and
| making excuses for years why they couldn't sell Linux PCs. If you wanted to
| buy Linux preinstalled on a computer, you had to find an independent shop.
| Which wasn't easy, because if they also sold Windows then they were under the
| eye of Sauron just like the big vendors, and were punished for selling Linux.
