I was simply paraphrasing what these sources claim

Somehow you turned:

"they offer a few desktops, 4 to be precise" From Groklaw and "While we offer Linux on all of our server range (Dell PowerEdge servers) we don't offer Linux as a factory installed option on our clients with the exception of the Dell Precision line of Workstations." From the mozilla quest article into:

"Dell made it almost impossible for them to buy a Linux system from them."

The is, at best, as irresponsible a twisting of the facts as has been seen on this thread and, at worst, an intentional attempt to deceive..

You can keep whining if you want, but like I already posted even Steven Vaughn Nichols has finally admitted his self created rumor was BS. Time for you to finally accept it, too.

"Last Thursday, when I wrote about Dell's new Linux desktop, was one of the most frustrating days of my professional life. My eWEEK colleague John Spooner and I tried our best to get Dell to confess that they really had released an honest-to-God Linux desktop. But Dell simply wouldn't do it."
