How IdeaStorm Works:
Windows key becomes "Super" key Accessories (Keyboards, etc.) submitted by hexagrapher 10/05/07 In many Linux distributions the "Windows" key is already called the "Super" key. "Super" is neutral and so does not favor anyone; "Super" fits thematically as a meta-key between "Ctrl" and "Alt". 3 Comments » Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Desktops submitted by lucabrivio 02/27/07
It would be nice to have a keyboard without Windows logos, especially for those that use other operating environments than Microsoft Windows. Let me replace the Windows Key for a Linux key in the keyboard Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux submitted by silencer Feb 12

Glare and reflection from high glare screens, screen frames, and notebook computers is annoying and distract from function and use. Submit hardware specifications to the Linux Driver Project Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Linux submitted by upstaked 10/05/07 **REVIEWED**

Would love the ability to have a clean Vista install. No AOL software, no earthlink software, no google software - just a clean, original OS. Make Linux and no Operating system standard options on all future products Operating Systems submitted by jervis961 08/17/07 **REVIEWED**
OK Dell you have committed to supplying Linux options in limited form. Since you have laid the groundwork already here is the next step. Every new product you release that needs an Operating system should have Linux and also no Operating System as an option in the configuration along side Windows. Since you have to write drivers and test compatability for Vista when making a new product just make it compatable with Linux at the same time. There will no longer be a need for a seperate sections for Linux or no Operating system since all of the products will have the option. this will help make your site easier to navigate for you customers. You can also create an ACCURATE help me choose section for the OS choices. Get GNU/Linux Machines in Retail Stores Linux submitted by dpic Feb 14 Imagine how successful Dell's Ubuntu offering could be if just one Dell Ubuntu machine was put in retail stores. If people knew of an alternative to Windows, they would go for it! So what do you say, Dell? Why don't you try to put at least one of your Ubuntu machines offered in retail stores? 736 Comments » Put Ubuntu on the list of operating systems when building a PC!

Ubuntu is hidden in a dark corner of the website. I work in IT support, and I have a client who was having virus problems a little while ago. I fixed the problem by installing Ubuntu on their PC. Very recently they called me asking for advice on a new computer, I told them about your new offer providing Ubuntu pre-installed on PCs and they wanted to purchase, but could not find the section on your site (this person is a very basic user, doesn't know what open-source means, probably didn't even see the open source link). There is no way they would have found your Ubuntu section on their own. Implemented: Ubuntu Dell is Le$$ Than Windows Dell Linux submitted by thebittersea 05/05/07 **IMPLEMENTED**
