What kind of laptop does Michael Dell use at home? See for yourself. This is the laptop and peripherals Michael is using right now.

Hardware:

Intel Core 2 Duo T7600 Processor 4GB DDR2 667Mhz DRAM 17" WXGA+ Widescreen LCD 160GB 7200rpm SATA hard drive 8X DVD +/- RW optical drive NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 512MB

Software:

Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn VMWare Workstation 6 Beta OpenOffice.org 2.2 Automatix2 Firefox 2.0.0.3 Evolution Groupware 2.10

 

     Just another laptop – right? Not quite – check out the Operating System that is installed on Michael Dell’s laptop – it is newest version of Ubuntu, 7.04 Feisty Fawn. This is no Vista, not even Windows XP – it’s Linux! If Michael Dell, the founder and CEO of the #1 Laptop/PC market player Dell Inc., is using Linux, then what are you, my dear reader, planning to use within next 5 years?

    The only answer that is not "Linux" would be "Mac", but hey, OS/X is FreeBSD 5 (the process model, network stack, and virtual file system) which is Unix :)
