| Dell and Linux: just another fan dance |
|---|
Dell is down on its luck a bit and recently decided that it needed to look like a good citizen. So the company put out an invitation seeking ideas from the "community" on a new website called IdeaStorm which apes the model created by Digg.
The top-ranking suggestions centred around providing GNU/Linux installed on Dell PCs and laptops. Believe it or not, over 100,000 people took the trouble to register on this site to tell the new CEO, founder Michael Dell, that they wanted GNU/Linux on their computers right out of the showroom. Some 67,000 said they wanted OpenOffice.org on the machines they chose.
