DELL NEWS: New Open-Source Ready Consumer DesktopDELL NEWS: New Open-Source Ready Consumer DesktopPosted Oct 4, 2005 19:03 UTC (Tue) by mikesalib (guest, #17162)Parent article: DELL NEWS: New Open-Source Ready Consumer Desktop
I purchased an N-series system just over a year ago from Dell. I had requested that it come with DVD burner. Shortly after my order was accepted, I got email from one of their staff people insisting that they would have to put Windows XP on it because I had asked for a DVD burner. When I pressed them for an explanation, they claimed that their corporate policy forbade them from shipping a box in a configuration that could not work. Of course, the box works fine with linux, including DVD burning. The whole experience was rather strange and nonsensical.
Just something to be aware of should you consider going with the N-series.
