Happily, it seems that "[s]urvey respondents indicated that improved hardware support for Linux is as important as the distribution(s) offered". So, don't expect to see your favourite distribution on a Dell Linux laptop anytime soon - unless it's Ubuntu ;-) - but hey, IT'S LINUX. Unfortunately, as stated above there are no more details as yet but they will be making more announcements in the coming weeks. UPDATE: just had to add "preinstalled" to Kmail's dictionary! (Oh, and Ubuntu - never mind ;-) ) <does a little dance>. OK, silly season over, get back to work ;-) Jeff -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
