Re: Dell Ubuntu
I can't wait to see how Ubuntu's bug-handling system will handle this new influx of users. Dell obviously won't be supporting Ubuntu, which means that
a) There will be a massive increase of dumb posts on the Ubuntu forums (not that there isn't a lot already!)
b) Ubuntu will start to have a lot of bugs filled which may or may not be actual bugs. Either way, this will pile up a lot of work for the developers.
c) Combination of a + b
d) Users will try out Ubuntu, do something stupid or fall into one of Ubuntu's inadequacies, and determine that Linux sucks.
I definitely view this as a positive move on Dell's part, I'm just wondering if Ubuntu is really ready to take on the challenge that a whole bunch of new users will represent. If they can meet the challenge, then desktop Linux will have moved forward in a big way.
