Dell stinks.

You know, developed countries don't need Linux - they can afford Windows!

I'm not allowed to say what I'm inclined to say in response, but it's 2 words one starts with F the other with O

I think jezuch's comment is missing a /sarcasm tag.

It's ok gus, I got the sarcasm. Unfortunately you don't understand Australian, it wasn't meant the way you think.

I've already told Dell to FO and I wasn't joking when I said it. They won't make those Linux based machines available and they won't give you an honest answer as to why not. Last time I asked I was told it's because the computers aren't programmed for Linux, that's when I went spare.
