Every two or three months Dell sends me their latest catalog.  I
look through it contemplating buying a new desktop or notebook.
I then look thru it again to see if any of the machines are offered
with Linux pre-installed.  That would imply that they support using
the modems, screen display and other gadgets with Linux.  They don't.
So I throw the catalog in the trash.
