Where is our Dell Ubuntu laptops?

[y@w]

I have tried Ubuntu on Lenovo Thinkpads and HP's and i have never had a driver problem. Wouldnt it be cheaper to just buy the laptop on Amazon and then get it shipped here? Or get a friend overseas to buy it and send it accros. Waranty should still be covered in SA.

Agreed. I've never seen a driver problem installing Linux on a Thinkpad. Plus, they're solid machines.

Tell them they better start supporting it, and can hire you to be on their linux team.


Unfortunately it depends on the market. SA has always been a relatively small market, and the linux community within is even smaller. (Heck, they are having a hard time justifying support in the UK and US)

/me doesn't know about linux and hardware driver integration to do that.

Ye agreed it is hard, But the only way to create a market for something is to support it.
