Dell- Bastards, i trusted them and look what they&#39;re doing now, just cause their dumb techs cant use a frigging terminal!</blockquote><div><br>What? Was I correct about the Dell survey??<br><br>I said it was all hype didn&#39;t I but would anyone listen to me? All Dell was interested in was a Market Survey.
<br><br>Adding Ubuntu to the list of OS supplied was no skin off their nose but what is interesting is the way they&#39;ve done it. By refusing (apparently) to sell it to business and not providing support for it they are IMO saying two things.
<br>1. To businesses &quot;Look its just not trustworthy enough for you guys that&#39;s why we don&#39;t provide support with for it&quot;.<br>2. To home users &quot;Your on your own mate&quot;.<br><br>I wonder if they try and put home users off buying a box with Ubuntu and more importantly if they don&#39;t offer support and the box becomes faulty will they blame Ubuntu and therefore refuse to fix it under the warranty?

<br><br>Dick Turpin<br><br>Arch Linux is an independent i686-optimized community distribution for intermediate and advanced Linux users. Utilising a Rolling Release System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there&#39;s no need for a fresh install the command &#39;pacman –Syu&#39; upgrades the whole system.
