[Dell's Top 10 list of why to buy one with Ubuntu]
http://www.dell.com/content/topics/segtopic.aspx/ubuntu?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&~ck=anavml
So Dell, is Ubuntu safer than Windows or not?
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell appears to be back-tracking on a
| claim made on its website that Ubuntu is
| safer than Windows.
|
| [...]
|
| Dell's proclamation was immediately picked
| up on by bloggers and news aggregators
| such as Digg.com, no doubt attracting the
| attention of Microsoft's PR machine.
|
| This morning, Dell appears to have taken
| down the Ubuntu page, although a copy of
| the original site (PDF) was saved by The
| VAR Guy website, in case Dell decided to
| pull it.
|
| When PC Pro asked Dell what it's official
| position on the relative merits of Ubuntu
| and Windows were, a company spokesperson
| replied: "With regards to the information
| cited on the Ubuntu page on Dellâs
| website, it is not Dellâs intention to
| recommend one OS over another, but instead
| to offer some educational facts that may
| be of interest to customers considering a
| system with Ubuntu pre-installed."

Linux, trojans and viruses. A real threat?
,----[ Quote ]
| For a viable Linux virus to be written it
| would have to hack into the Linux system,
| escalate it's privileges to root and then
| start infecting files.

| The page compares that other OS on a
| number of features and it looks pretty
| fair. I like that they actually tell
| people âUbuntu is safer than Windowsâ.
