Cheap crap with free crap
Oh please...companies are dropping Dell systems in droves and to try to save some of their market share they have resorted to providing low end systems available at Walmart with Linux on them. Seems to me they are falling into the trap that Commodore did a long time ago when you could buy a system anywhere...But where is Commodore today?

Real businesses with real needs still choose a better hardware platform like HP or IBM and a business OS with business applications running on Windows.

The overselling of how great Dell is and how great Linux is seems so far from reality...If you sell cheap stuff with free stuff, just what kind of business model do you have and how much money can you possibly make?
