Dell's New Linux Blog 317
comforteagle writes "I've just written up an interesting find: Linux engineers at Dell have started their own Linux site and weblog about Linux at Dell. From the announcement: "Welcome to the Dell Linux Community Web. This site is dedicated to providing any information that may be useful regarding your usage of Linux on your Dell equipment. While Dell primarily works with and officially supports Red Hat Linux, many of our customers choose to run other distributions." And perhaps more importantly it appears that the new site and weblog is run and maintained by the engineers themselves. It certainly has that 'made with vi' look." And kudyadi points to this PC Magazine interview with Michael Dell, in which Dell talks "about Dell's expanding product line, the company's late entrance into the Media Center space, and where the PC giant and the industry go from here." He touches on Linux just a bit, too.

Do you not think that the association with fantasy-land would explain a lot?

MD: I went over to a friend's house the other day. He was having problems with his computer and he asked me to look at it, and I realized he had Windows Me and it's like, oh no--that's your first problem.

Yes, because unlike Dell workers, I spend 2 seconds to check if the heatsink is properly mounted.

You see all that stuff above the sentence about working for McDonalds? I imagine you'd find it there.

Was he escorted out in a Star Trek style ritual with spooky chanting, tons of mist and a portentous speech about the Outlander or did you all just poke him with a stick?
