Actually promote Desktop Linux

Advertising and Marketing, Desktops, Linux submitted by mrvertigo 05/10/07

Dell offered desktop Linux once but seemingly did not market it as much as it could have, the company did not make money on a Linux desktop and decided to stop offering it, this is one reason that dell needs to effectively market its newest offertings
as a desktop alternative!!!

Without a REAL attempt to market this it will die like attempts by so many others, Dell has the resources to market this!

Lets get desktop lnux out there guys! 4 Comments »

can dell become as a new "apple" with linux

Linux submitted by davidene 05/10/07

it will be interesting an accord of dell with novel redhat or ubuntu to develope a linux OS only for dell pc... I like very much idea of dell to implement linux on its devices, but it is a little difficult to use linux for novice users... overall to install new software... it is not easy to find the right software for your specific distribution... it will be a good idea also that dell give this software on its site...or as i told to produce a linux for dell pc that uses an apart installation packet as rpm or exe or... i don't know...it will semplificates the consumers life...

always new and user friendly software is power

Help us get rid of MS

.

Dell should make a survey asking to the young people if they want to get rid Windows of their PC.

I'm sure the most of us hates this OS. But for exaple I SHOULD use it because there are many software that only works here. But I suffer every day and I know that there are better options. And I feel that Dell and other companies don't care about the user, just about their business. If I could use another OS I will do it for SURE.

My proposal: Make a survey.

Computer Setup

Servers and Storage, Desktops and Laptops submitted by dave3281 05/11/07

For speed issues it would be wise to setup a computer with the O/S, Data, and Swap to be on separate hard drives and channels. If you wanted to get really hardcore you would have the O/S core on a ROM chip, the swap and configuration changes on a smaller drive maybe even solid state, and finally the Data on a RAID mirrored setup. This would increase your computers raw speed and help with reliability. Along with making sure that the RAM speed was as close to the processorś speed as possible (to decrease bottleneck effect). 3 Comments »
