Linux on Dell: Get Voting!

It appears that Dell have taken the community’s request for Linux on Dell computers seriously and have now set up a survey to discover what exactly its customers “want from a Linux desktop,” in the words of Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, who blogged about this survey yesterday.

From the Dell blog post announcing this survey:

Your feedback on Dell IdeaStorm has been astounding. Thank you! We hear your requests for desktops and notebooks with Linux. We’re crafting product offerings in response, but we’d like a little more direct feedback from you: your preferences, your desires. We recognize some people prefer notebooks over desktops, high-end models over value models, your favorite Linux distribution, telephone-based support over community-based support, and so on. We can’t offer everything (all systems, all distributions, all support options), so we’ve crafted a survey to let you help us prioritize what we should deliver for you.

Get voting!

By the way, I also recommend you take a look at the announcement on Dell’s blog - few times have I seen that many comments in reply to a post
