They also have a knoppix and morphix CD same sort of cost, so DSE will not need or possibly want us to give stuff away, but more to explain the advantages, and quality of the tools.
Yeah true. Cuts into sales of MS Office too probably. ;)
I would also point out that DSE and Cris Day in particular has done a lot to get OSS and Linux drivers in store, so we should support them in this even if only to say thanks for all the linux friendly work they have done to date.
I can bring my laptop purchased from DSE running Linux with wireless access from a DSE wireless card to my DSE router/wireless as a example.
I must say I was fairly impressed to see the Tux logo on a DSE branded USB memory card reader I bought at DSE here in Taupo. It works well in Linux too. Regards
