OEMs

Some more good news come from Dell. It appears they are getting more serious about supporting GNU/Linux on desktops and laptops and they are even talking about prioritizing hardware with Free Software support over those with lack of it.

A recent blog entry on Direct2Dell blog indicates that Dell may be quite serious about the whole thing. It is interesting to note that the author, "Matt Domsch, Linux Software Architect", seems familiar with the Free Software philosophy, if nothing then subtly from a way he writes the word "Free". It is good to see that someone from one of the leading computer vendors actually gets what's going on in our community, sees the debate and in fact puts a reasonable amount of weight to the Free Software side.
