More threads every day, linux linux linux, most of them not even being true. This particular thread is a follow up to 2 others where the Linux pushers lied and insisted that Dell sold Linux preinstalled on desktop computers for home use, which was bunk to begin with, was even admitted by the author of the articles, yet the copyleftist fanatics still insisted otherwise.

I'm not entirely sure what you're responding to (Bunny, pancake, etc.), but here's what the original article had to say about Dell offering Linux preinstalled on their computers...

It's not like Dell didn't try a Linux desktop, Dell added. The Austin, Texas-based company "tried that with Red Hat on the OptiPlex and Dimension lines, but we had too many people not buying and saying we picked the wrong one." By 2001, Dell was no longer offering a Linux desktop to its usual retail customers.

So when you claim that Dell didn't sell machines with Linux preinstalled, what are we to make of such statements? Kinda sounds like what one would expect of a zealot, doncha think?

Have you considered a switch to decaf?

Just ignore it, why don't you?

Because you can't...then you wouldn't get paid.
