For one, I have no idea what "As the base software of IT system, Asianux has gotten full support" means. Does this mean that they spoke with someone on a Dell technical support line who told them that Dell computers will, in fact, work with Linux?

To be honest, companies just *love* to put up who they "work with". Just because I've gotten "full support" from AMD to put one of their processors in the socket on my motherboard doesn't make me a valued AMD partner.

Good grief. All the hubbub going on lately wrt binary blobs, and something like "full support" from Intel means nothing?

How did you hear about this if you're living in a cave?

China's a vast rice bowl of manna for these OEMs. No legal Windows in sight, a gov't that's going out of its way to keep it that way by pumping Linux onto every box that's sold, and presumably not a single communist left in the country.If I ran an OEM, I'd be drooling to get into it.

Strange world. IT salvation from Red China. Who'd 'a thunk it?
