From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey all. Going to take advantage of dellrefurbished sale. Dell is all abour Ubuntu. But I'd like to play around with LMDE.

Anyone running LMDE on Dell Precision? If so, how'd it go?

Edit: oh well, dellrefurbished doesn't ship to Canada. Question still stands.

Well, that settles it then, I'll retire my wife's m6800 to me and get her a newer refurbished!
