No Linux? OK.... Linux-fan: don't buy Dell computers

Linux submitted by lonelovetenerife 03/03/07

Dell's Ideastorm was "stormed" with posts asking Linux incorporated as operating system in the computers. Now Dell make only shy measures like selling PCs without O.S.

Well, if Dell don't take care of consumer's wishes there is an easy solution: if you are a fan of open source don't buy Dell products until it comes with Linux. 10 Comments »

AMD cpu's in servers and blade servers

Servers and Storage submitted by balle-larsen 03/03/07 **IMPLEMENTED**

Dell is loosing sales on servers because you are not offering AMD cpu's for servers.

In competition with e.g. HP and IBM for rack mounted servers Dell has no matching offer.

As Enterprises are entering into Blade systems and Virtual servers the AMD equiped servers are not available from Dell and you are missing out an opertunity to develop og even stay in that market.


Now offered on the PowerEdge M605
