OK, so the Dell Linux desktops are the real deal. But where is the fanfare? Are there no commercials at all? Could it have something to do with Vista and Microsoft as a whole. Read on and you can decide for yourself…

Last Thursday, when I wrote about Dell’s new Linux desktop, was one of the most frustrating days of my professional life. My eWEEK colleague John Spooner and I tried our best to get Dell to confess that they really had released an honest-to-God Linux desktop.

But Dell simply wouldn’t do it.

I have been following Linux since Linus Torvalds was a graduate student, and Dell since Michael Dell moved his computer sales operation out of his dorm room. I think they’ve done something new here. Source: DesktopLinux
