Turion 64

John & Al: 1) I have also posted this reply on the DELL newsgroup. 2) Most people in these companies marketing are not really computer litterate, and tend to know only MS Windows. Suggest that we "educate them" by using out power of the purse, and demand that they state clearly that they support Linux, with the hardware configuration being shipped. I tend to believe that testing their product with only one version of Linux, less than one year old (Say SUSE 10.0 and Fedora 4) would be a reasonable request, because if the hardare pass this test, it will work with a current version of the kernel, and have working device drivers. I am pretty sure that sooner rather than later, PC hardware manufacturers will wake up a smell the coffee: increasing their sales by 10% just by checking their products with Linux is no small feast! Some would kill for much less sales increase than that! Note that AMD have been supporting Linux, with enthousiasm, and have no reason for regrets there.

I noticed that Compaq has a neat 64 bit Turion model that's only slightly more than some of the Intel Celerons! Anybody have any experience with those? It comes with XP-64m (of course) but I'd like to know if its Suse-friendly... PS -- Here are some links on EVDO: http://heraldnet.com/stories/06/01/2..._e1moss001.cfm Here are the plans I’ve found so far…though most of the pages are a little vague still: · Verizon (http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/m...band/index.jsp ) · Sprint (http://www.sprint.com/business/produ...doCoverage.jsp ) · Cingular (http://www.cingular.com/midtolarge/laptop_connect) with AMD, you get more for your money. |
