I'm not cheering just yet, but I am being cautiously optimistic. From
reading this, it seems like Dell maybe, maybe, have got the message
right;
"Dell recognizes the importance of open source, GPL-licensed
drivers which are maintained upstream in kernel.org. They allow
users the widest choice of Linux distributions, effectively
taking the specific hardware and distribution out of the
decision-making process and let you focus on solving your
business problems. We will work with our hardware partners to
develop, test, and maintain Free drivers, and continue to make
progress towards that goal for all drivers."
Now *that* is darned encouraging!

That is great news!
I'll probably hold on to buy a laptop and see if these babies are really
worth the shot!
