Latest Dell laptop runs on Mandriva Linux

Latest Dell laptop runs on Mandriva Linux: This is going to flop like their previous attempts. Linsux is not good for laptops. It doesn't even support ACPI properly. Why pay all that money for a crippled laptop when you can get one for half the price with another full featured operating system? Bad move on Dell's part and I expect this won't last long.; Posted by: Loverock Davidson Posted on: 09/16/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
