The overwhelming reaction from the public however is that Dell needs to start selling Linux ready computers . Linux and Open Source software rose to the top of the list right away, users want Linux-based laptops and PCs. They want Firefox, not Internet Explorer. They are asking for Computers that have Linux pre-installed or at the least no Windows system, They are offended that they are being asked to pay for an operating system that they will not be using.
