DELL NEWS: New Open-Source Ready Consumer Desktop
Over the last twelve years I've bought several pre-installed Linux systems, and probably redid every one of them. Getting a system with Linux on it has its value: it's an existence proof that Linux will, in fact, work on that system. That proof, along with a copy of the shipped /etc directory, can greatly increase one's confidence in getting the system running as one wants.
