What is special is that the supplier is going to support both LInux as well as, apparently, a bare hardware option (i.e. no O.S.) thus saving the customer the cost of something that they don't want/need. In the same vein, Dell, in response to many requests, is going to offer certain models of Laptops w/o an O.S. to satisfy customers who plan to install their favorite Linux distro. If it comes to pass, this will be a good decision on Dell's part. Best Regards, John Holmblad Acadia Secure Networks abos at hanno.de wrote: > Acadia Secure Networks schrieb: > >> All, >> >> fyi.
