How about convincing the bigger comanys Autodesk, Adobe etc.. to write software for Linux to at least take the place of Macs. Mass marketing on tv, internet billboards would be great. How about Linux Ready stickers too. Open your code to the community. Install OpenOffice and Firefox instead of all the other bloatware nagware spyware on your preinstalled windows pcs..

Laptop tools to control hardware settings on laptops

03/21/07		 cyber-rigger..that does NOTHING to get AutoDesk or Adobe to run on Linux.. OK so we can buy a preinstalled Linux box.. big deal!
The point is to be able to USE it for the programs we NEED for our PROFESSIONS..
If Dell would work out their own distro for this.. in harmony with AutoDesk and Adobe etc..that would be excellent! Bring in the gamers too.. tehn they hae a system to beat them all..and OS that will sell like Windows ..maybe better..and lower cost! Give it away with their own computers..sell it cheap to the rest of us!!
