Dell to Pre-Install Linux on Desktops and Notebooks

[SWN_Hellzone]

Gentoo sucks i agree. Fedora is a windows lookalike which is cool and I would choose it over any other linux. I agree with you 100% Alessandro17. Vista Really has {censored}y driver Support. I have a older computer with 1.5gb of ram and a Fx5500, Nvidia dosent have the Fx 5500 in there vista driver package and the default driver that vista installs is {censored}, lags in games and the visuliser on windows media player. The new computers are comeing with vista... I feel sorry for thos people...... thx god for XP and Osx86

@Track 09: no, the X-Fi does not work completely in Vista, its potential is seriously crippled with the Vista drivers.

And if you had a clue, then you'd know that Creative will be bringing out Linux drivers for the X-Fi shortly in the second quarter of this year.

You said it yourself, you use Gentoo

That's like trying teaching a 6year old kid mathematics by showing him how to do integrals.

Try OpenSuse, and be amazed, or better yet, get over your prejudices

You talk like Vista is the sh*t; well there was this dolt that convinced a friend of mine to install Vista.

Consequence: we had to give up our programming session for our project, because his fresh Vista install gave him so many troubles, he couldn't even be productive anymore.

I didn't think it was physically possible, but Vista sucks and blows. It does so on my pc, my laptop, my father's laptop, and my friends' laptops.

The only OS's that have stolen my heart are Win XP, OS X, and OpenSuse

In 2hours or so, I have to bail out a customer who made the switch to Vista, and literally can't get work done because of it.

Edit:

I saw this on bittech, might come in handy for the rest of this discussion:

As for the Vista repairing job I did this afternoon: Vista is more and more becoming a synonym for hellish misery in my book >_>
