Other than hardware support, I would never call Dell for support. I do
own some Dell equipment, such as the x50v handheld and an Inspiron
laptop. Both are fecal matter, though.

My power company doesn't even have that kind of uptime! I know that HP
is a good company, and I have HP equipment (just a printer at the
moment) but the point is that they do not support Ubuntu, the focus of
this mailing list.

Er, I do build my own desktops. Laptops are another story.
