The question asks: 6) Which Linux distribution should Dell prioritize on? a Commercial: Novell/SuSE Linux Desktop. b Commercial: Red Hat Enterprise Desktop. c Community Supported: Fedora. d Community Supported: OpenSUSE. e Community Supported: Ubuntu. f Other. >From the choices available Ubuntu is the only one developed and maintained by individuals with no commercial backing. The Ubuntu / Debian relationship would be equivalent to PC-BSD / FreeBSD. Umm and last time I checked FreeBSD wasn't a Linux distribution so writing in FreeBSD for option f is not applicable, you could write-in Slackware though.
