How IdeaStorm Works:
Sell Linux PCs Worldwide - not only the United States Linux, Sales Strategies, Desktops and Laptops submitted by ergo 05/02/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
Dell has now decided to sell computers with Linux pre-installed. GREAT MOVE! But for the moment, it only concerns the US... Here outside the US, we can't wait to buy a pre-installed Linux Dell PC! Please sell Linux PCs worldwide! Support i8k packages -- gkrellm-i8k and i8kutils Software submitted by cps42 05/07/07
The drivers and monitoring for Inspiron and Lattitude laptops provided by the i8k packages have been a default install for me for several years. The additional benefits (like being able to turn off the fans when I really need it quiet) is fantastic. Additional features, like reading the support asset tag from the Bios makes calling support much easier. Stay away from SUSE Linux (Novell/Microsoft) Linux submitted by sirro 05/08/07 Please don't make us have to pay dollars to Microsoft to use Linux on our servers! That is just so wrong. 5 Comments » Linux submitted by mikifinaz 05/08/07 @mikifinaz - when we announced on May 1 we'd offer Ubuntu on Dell, we said it would be available in the coming weeks. Please visit www.dell.com/ubuntu in the coming weeks to order a system. 17 Comments » Release the Axim hardware specifications Broadband and Mobility, Service and Support submitted by jtzapp 05/09/07 **REVIEWED**
Now that Dell has gotten out of the handheld market, why not release the specifications for the chips et al, for the Axims? I would love to be able to run linux on my Axim X50v, and I'm sure I'm not the only one -- but that's not really going to happen unless developers can tailor the kernel to the hardware. Michael Dell and the rest of the company have recently made a public promise to further linux on Dell hardware, and this would go a long way towards engendering brand loyalty. I don't see how this can harm Dell in any way, and as I said, would certainly help to assure me that Dell doesn't want to leave its customers out in the cold even if they no longer sell the product. We're not asking for any sort of support whatsoever, just the ability to exercise our freedoms with respect to the products we purchase. Actually promote Desktop Linux Advertising and Marketing, Desktops, Linux submitted by mrvertigo 05/10/07
Dell offered desktop Linux once but seemingly did not market it as much as it could have, the company did not make money on a Linux desktop and decided to stop offering it, this is one reason that dell needs to effectively market its newest offertings An endorsement for Ubuntu over Microsoft Dell, Linux submitted by phubert 05/10/07
For those who have advocated Ubuntu on Dell systems, here's a VERY PRACTICAL endorsement can dell become as a new "apple" with linux Linux submitted by davidene 05/10/07
it will be interesting an accord of dell with novel redhat or ubuntu to develope a linux OS only for dell pc... I like very much idea of dell to implement linux on its devices, but it is a little difficult to use linux for novice users... overall to install new software... it is not easy to find the right software for your specific distribution... it will be a good idea also that dell give this software on its site...or as i told to produce a linux for dell pc that uses an apart installation packet as rpm or exe or... i don't know...it will semplificates the consumers life...

. Dell, Operating Systems, Desktops and Laptops submitted by bassaf 03/08/07 Make a deal with Steve Jobs and have OS X installed on new Dell PCs with style and affordable price, so my father can actualy use a computer without being a systems engineer. 51 Comments » Advertising and Marketing submitted by psutradhar 05/11/07 Should DELL concentrate on pupularity in terms of their product usability in INDIA as compare to their COMPITITERS.
