At first I doubted the truth of this, but when I saw a link to Michael Dell’s blog and the fact that he has Ubuntu Feisty Fawn on a Dell notebook, I had to change my mind.
If Dell really wants to do the Linux community a favor, it won’t just sell machines with some flavor of Linux. It will sell those Linux machines with the Linux bios.
But, and I cringe when I write this, GE is right about one thing. There are some real zealots in the open source movement. Not everyone is as whacked out as Stellman, but some are.

Ehhh............
GE is right like the liberal media is right. There’s always some left out fact, or whatever fact that’s being touted as applying toward one group really applies to everybody.
There’s zealots in all the major camps, Steve Jobs for example is known for being a major control freak, and it shows big time in his products. And not just up high. 6 months before apple announced the switch to intel processors, had you gone to the mac-forums.com website and posted about how apple needed to switch to intel based processors this is what you’d have gotten.
