Why Use Linux?
,----[ Quote ]
| Often I get the question, "Why should I use
| Linux?". Obviously this is a very nebulous
| question that may have as many different
| reasons as there are Linux users, but let's
| try and answer it anyway.

| I have tried to do business with Dell and I
| have worked with a lot of good equipment from
| Dell, but they make everything so hard. Try:
|
| * finding anything with Linux on their
| site
| * finding anything on their site if you
| are in the wrong class of customers
| * finding identical kit running GNU/Linux
| or that other OS as options
| * now, installing a hard drive on their
| servers just got harder

Linux users, get your Windows refund today
,----[ Quote ]
| One good thing I can say about Dell is that
| they seem to be granting refunds for Windows,
| but only on new systems (not refurbished). The
| key to getting the refund is to politely
| contact them after you have received your new
| PC, and state that you have read the Windows
| license agreement on your screen, and are
| following the instructions and asking for a
| Windows refund. The last time I attempted
| this, Dell shipped me a return label to send
| back the Windows CDs. About 2 weeks after I
| shipped the CDs back, I received a check in
| the mail. I have to admit that was a very
| surprising experience, in a good way. Today I
| am still happily running Fedora 10 on that
| machine.
