I didn't claim anything, I simply showed up on the thread where one of the linux fanbois posted this article claiming Dell was announcing they were going to sell Linux on home desktop computers, and expressed my belief it was just another load of bunk, like we are so used to seeing from that crowd. I even referenced a second article from that same author, admitting it was a all a lie, and that he was ashamed he couldn't get the Linux desktops like he had promised would be available. Yet here is yet ANOTHER thread on the whole fiasco, with Dell not even giving a timetable, but rather, asking the impossible of the fanbois - give us a single, reliable, legal version of Linux, or forget it. In fact, I think that's how most of us feel.

It could simply be your poor writing, but it sounds like you're claiming that Dell never offered a Linux box. That simply isn't true. As the original article states, Dell did offer a series of boxes with Red Hat. They now offer boxes with FreeDOS so that Linux users can "roll their own" with the distro of their choice. (As opposed to "ramming" a particular distro down their throats.)

On a side note: What constitutes a "single, legal version" of Linux and why would we want one?

"I simply showed up on the thread where one of the linux fanbois posted this article claiming Dell was announcing they were going to sell Linux on home desktop computers, and expressed my belief it was just another load of bunk..."

Yeah, I remember that...that was the thread where you got caught not only lying about your own words, but then saying that I made them up.

You really showed me on that one. I'll never mess with you again.
