"Dell users may soon have the choice of having Linux pre-installed on their machines, according to a statement on the technology company's website.
The PC maker launched its feedback website, Dell Idea Storm, in mid-February, and was inundated with requests for the Linux operating system and productivity software suite OpenOffice to be included on all Dell computers. Users are requesting the top three free Linux versions for free pre-installation.
