Re: OK trying to convince a complete NEWBE for a PC
Actually Dell is one of the few building ground up Linux machines... and so far very few.... Insperon 1525 N is the laptop version. Hopefully though it will catch on, and they will offer more diversity.
As they build their own machines vs some others that just stip (you are still paying for) WIN, and installing Linux.
The Ubuntu 1525N was a good $150 cheaper than the equivalently equipent WIN machine, plus no BS (nearly all TRIAL, not real) crapware, AOhelL, etc., just rock solid upper end euiv aps like GIMP, Open Office, and of course be what you want Firefox, not what THEY want INTERNET EXPLODER, etc.
