Thank you Dell.

See the following link. Clicky clicky.

I have waited so long for something like this to occur. Especially from Dell.

Apparently they started offering machines without windows. They are called the -n series, the hard drives come unformatted. And they explicitely mention Linux. Great.

In other unrelated news, it seems I’ll have to upgrade wordpress since 2.1 came out. Last major upgrade was nothing short of hairy, let’s hope it goes smooth.

    If you’re referring to

    “Dell recommends Windows® XP Professional.”

    I don’t think it is related in any way. Every manufacturer that sells windows puts this catch phrase somewhere on their website. TigerDirect does it, too. I think it’s a requirement.
