Dell recently changed their Ubuntu desktop series... they now have an Inspiron 537s. Has anybody used one with f11 or rawhide? On a related topic, it would be great if a few key fedora developers/testers had access to systems like this so I would know before shelling out $500 that it's likely to be well supported. I'd even kick in $20 to the fedora project earmarked for the purchase of one to sit in a cube at redhat as a fedora test machine. Are there 24 other takers? ;) Seriously though, I think there might be wider adoption of fedora/Linux/pre-loaded Linux vendors if users felt more like developers had access to the exact system they buy. I have struggled with a crappy intel driver on my IBM thinkcentre for the last 6 fedora releases and I'd really like to not repeat that experience when buying new hardware. Since the list of pre-installed Linux systems from major desktop manufacturers is pretty short, it seems like it should be easy to get such a system on a desk at redhat. FYI - here's what a 537s has (with defaults except changing the intel graphics to ATI) for $479 + tax/shipping: Ubuntu Desktop Edition 9.04 Intel Pentium dual-core E5300 (2MB L2, 2.6GHz, 800FSB) 1Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 2 DIMMs 320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™ 20" Dell ST2010-Black High Definition Monitor 16X DVD+/-RW Drive ATI Radeon HD 4350 512MB Integrated 5.1 Channel Audio No Speaker Option Dell Consumer Entry USB Keyboard and Mouse No Floppy Drive or Media Card Reader Included No Modem Option Piano Black My Accessories Inspiron 537 Slim-Tower w/ Black Bezel Integrated 10/100 Ethernet Anybody see any red flags with fedora compatibility there?
