Quote:Since launching Dell IdeaStorm a little more than a month ago, one idea has risen to and stayed at the top: better support for Linux. We have heard you and appreciate the direct feedback. On March 13, we responded by launching a Linux survey asking for your feedback on what you need for a better Linux experience. Thank you to the more than 100,000 people who took the survey. Here are some of the highlights from the survey: 

* More than 70% of survey respondents said they would use a Dell system with a Linux operating system for both home and office use.

* Survey respondents indicated they want a selection of notebook and desktop offerings.

* Majority of survey respondents said that existing community-based support forums would meet their technical support needs for a tested and validated Linux operating system on a Dell system.

* Survey respondents indicated that improved hardware support for Linux is as important as the distribution(s) offered.
