I ended up taking them to court over a laptop which didn't work from the start, which they refused to to anything about when they heard it was running Linux... even though it was quite clearly a hardware problem. I guess with FreeBSD a conversation with "Dell support" (in quotes because I believe it to be somewhat of any oxymoron) would go along the lines of "Free what? Can't do anything about that, we only support the hardware, you have to be able to get the problem under Windows XP for us to do anything". http://developer.kde.org/~howells/inspiron - -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- chris@chrishowells.co.uk, howells@kde.org Web: http://chrishowells.co.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt/C++/PHP Developer: http://www.kde.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQE/ueT6F8Iu1zN5WiwRAnZBAJ0URuWItQaNMz5N4+bRkpQzw8jFIgCeNZe+ kF8tBl7123ozq86kSPmqfUE= =f73l -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
