Dell is listening to customer requests for desktops and notebooks with Linux and we’re going to expand our product offerings in response.  We conducted a survey that ended on March 23, to which almost 100,000 responses were received, asking for input from the Linux community on their preferences for products and support.  Read our March 28 update to IdeaStorm’s “Ideas in Action” and our blog post on Direct2Dell to learn more about the survey results, and Dell’s commitment to deliver select desktops and notebooks with Linux distribution(s) pre-installed.  We will provide an update in the coming weeks that includes detailed information on which systems we will offer, our testing and certification efforts, and the Linux distribution(s) that will be available.
