"Going through the "home" menuing, the salesperson reached on 9 January 2004 said a user installing Linux does not void the hardware warranty. Apparently as Carmen said at the end of December, they got with their sales team to make sure they have the right information -- at least as to user installation of Linux and other software not voiding the hardware warranty.""
The whole thing was a case of a sales team that was unaware of what marketing was actually selling... See I actually read the whole article...
Dell spokespeople Carmen Maverick and Stephen Wanless said:
Carmen Maverick: We sell a wide variety of hardware and software through our Software and Peripherals (S&P) store. Customer-installed hardware and software -- including operating systems -- does not void the Dell system warranty.
Dell Precision workstations are currently the only client product line that we offer with Linux pre-installed (Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS), based on customer demand.
So nowhere from that article should you have drawn the conclusion Dell was making it impossible... unless of course you really really were willing to twist the truth to get there..
I never said it was impossible, those are just your lies claiming I did. I clearly said "almost impossible" as my links prove. You've lost this argument every which way you could have, GE out.
