Not a mention of Linux anywhere in the booklet.

Windows Vista is everywhere and there are some pretty decent deals,
especially on notebooks.

There is a nice pink one that would be perfect for Roy Schestowitz, Martii
or HPT!!

It has a $25.00 premium though, which is a rip IMHO.
You'll never lose it though, unlike a black Thinkpad which blends in with
everything.

So where is Linux?

This is one of Dell's biggest times of the year, along with the Christmas
season but yet Linux is once again MIA.

Poor Linux...

How many OS X systems were mentioned? Solaris?

Dell buries their Linux machines, it's easier to find the Loch Ness
monster then it is to find a Linux box on Dell's website. Lenovo is much
better, they put Linux right out front. HP is much better also. They
don't offer Linux machines but they do make FreeDos an option on a lot of
their systems if you look under Small Business instead of Home.

No one in aolu so why do you insist on removing the crosspost to COLA so
we can all see it? Cut the crap already and subscribe to cola and become
one of them. They are borg, you have been assimilated...

And you feel the need to help him do it. You are just as guilty.

Why do you focus on OS X so much in a Linux news group?

None. Why should that be a surprise since Dell does *NOT* sell OSX but
supposedly does sell linux.


> Solaris?

I don't think that Dell sells Solaris either. And even if they did... this
is a "back to school" catalog with computers for students, not for the
server room in some IT department. They didn't mention *mainframes* either
since about as many students will be buying mainframes as they will Solaris
servers.

OSX is sold by Apple and it's retailers. Dell does *NOT* sell Mac's so you
would have to be a pretty big idiot to wonder why Dell doesn't advertise
computers for their competitors.

Solaris isn't a appropriate OS for kids returning to school so it doesn't
take much brains to see why something like Solaris isn't mentioned in a
"Back to School" catalog for kids.

On the other hand Dell is supposed to be this big embracer of linux and by
them selling linux systems it was going to be the end for Microsoft and
linux would dominate the desktop. Yet when Dell advertises it's computers to
ordinary consumers linux (once again) gets no mention.

Poor Ricktard. Can't figure out what a Dell catalog doesn't promote OSX from
one of their competitors. Next he'll be wondering why the Apple catalog
doesn't promote Dell computers.

Not supposedly. They do sell a small number of Linux based systems, and
they don't advertise it much at all. It is almost a custom service.

And as a "back to school" catalog, why would they feature Linux based
systems?

Poor Ezekiel astroll, he just can't stand the fact that Linux based
systems are being sold, and used.

I asked a legitimate question - you often whine about me posting about OS
X... but I bet a greater percentage of your posts bring up OS X than do
mine.

You are a hypocrite... and when I point it out you call me names.

Oh well.
