How about a fast, Internet ready Linux desktop. Small form factor, pretty monitor, mouse & keyboard, the O.S., OpenOffice & Firefox. Cheap'n'fast

DELL/ Status Update

Dell sees the value of this idea, and is keeping the sugestions for a Linux small form factor on the radar. john_h will let the community know of any new information as it comes.

    $300, 12" screen laptop, no optical drive, Ubuntu with XFCE would do for me.

    Well, I did start a thread on this idea for the studio hybrid. http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/10091209/Can_we_get_Studio_Hybrid_with_Ubuntu Vote it up. I would love to buy one if it fully works with all Ubuntu features, including the video driver. -AR

    A linux powered Studio Hybrid could be a good start: probably more powerful and pricey than what most people had in mind in this thread, but the form-factor at least would be right. I for one would buy one.

    This is a nice idea, and I can see the value in doing this. We don't have any plans yet to do something like this yet, but we're keeping it on the radar. I'll give more information here if something changes

    The OEMs are the only ones with enough power to pressure the chip vendors to release their documentation! Vendors: we don't want your source code and we don't want NDAs. All we want is the complete documentation of your hardware so we can build our own stable and maintainable opensource drivers! If Dell wants to let its customers satisfied with its new Linux PCs offering, it MUST make vendors provide full and free (both in the sense of freedom - i.e. not under NDA - and in the sense of price) documentation. The rest (hardware support and opensource drivers) will come along. Cast your vote for free hardware documentation! Dell's Linux PCs offering will be completely useless without proper hardware support... http://www.ideastorm.com/article/show/64498
