I have a dell laptop here and I think the harddrive is dying. Get read errors sometimes and on occasion gives me kernel panics on boot. And the battery is dead. Meanwhile my 6 year old HP laptop is still working just fine.

Why do they have to sell such garbage?

Hah, I don't have anything to do in class on the weekdays so I'm on here but on the weekend I'm raging lol. Aaron made a thread which broke all the rules in one post, and Trezbien is leaving at the end of the season. What's good withchu?

i'm trying to get some sleep so i can see france-romania fully (i usually fall asleep in the halfbreak when ro is playing)...As i wroted i just came from the sea...but the thought that i have only 4 days of peace and quiet left ruins the time.

At least Dell is selling their stuff with Ubuntu these days. It's not much but it's a start. And they plan to expand. How many other vendors give you that option?

fucken hp, i bought a replacement charger around the start of the year because the other one stopped working, piece of shit, they gave me some little connector thing and now i have to fiddle with it for like 20 minutes just to get it to work.

HP does provide a customized version of Ubuntu on their netbooks. That's a start too.

No, not netbooks. Laptops.

They're yet to start it to notebooks. But the MiE interface is sort of an experiment actually. I've heard that if they get good feedback about it, they'll start including Ubuntu or MiE on notebooks too.

where the heck is aaron's post?...i'm tryin to find it for 15 minutes and nothing...

Bleh, everyone is doing linux on netbooks, it doesn't take any courage at all. What Dell is doing is actually challenging the status quo by putting it on desktops and laptops. THAT is what needs to happen. And HP, meanwhile, continues to be a lackey to Microsoft.

I think HP sold laptops with Suse at one point. But it was like they were trying to keep tabs on it, the pages were not easy to find, they were only for sale in the US, they didn't advertise it much, and now I can't find any linux laptops on their site. Meanwhile Dell is actually publicizing what they do,

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I really wish we did sell more laptops with linux on it.
