Fair play, if it was your old man who bought should have got the support, lol. Cheers, Daniel

I wanted to support a big manufacturer putting linux onto desktop/laptop machines, as unless people support it, it won't take off. 2. It was fantastic to have a machine turn up at the door that worked with what I wanted out of the box. No more opening the box then reformatting/sorting out hardware problems etc 3. I didn't buy it. Being a penniless student my old man purchased it for me. He trusts Dell with his card details rather than some other name he might not have heard of. Mainly though I got it for points 1 and 2, though having it as I wanted it more or less out of the box was a really big boon for me as I enjoy being lazy :-) -Matt Daubney -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/ -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
