Ones who pre-load Linux could presumably calculate that shipping a better supported chip may cost them slightly more initially but save them maintenance headaches and hence eventually work out cheaper, so that would be Dell and HP. I think some of their pre-loaded systems do come with Intel chipsets rather than Broadcom, which are indeed slightly more expensive to procure. I haven't directly heard the rumours Rahul had, though. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
