Quote:
September, 16th, Mandriva, the number one European Linux publisher, today announces the availability of a Dell Laptop pre-loaded With Mandriva Linux. The association - a first for the two companies - represents a milestone in Mandriva's effort to make Linux even more accessible to customers, thanks to large OEM deals. Mandriva also counts HP in its portfolio of leading manufacturers.


Finally it will be possible to buy a computer with Linux pre-loaded from a major computer manufacturer. :D

I belive that HP offered a Laptop that was Preloaded with SUsE Linux about a year ago. That Being said, I can't say much about Mandrake/Mandriva Linux as I've not used that Distribution. I do know that many people like it, as well as dislike it for a multitude of reasons.
