My Experience with Dell and Linux (Score 1)

My experience with Dell and RedHat Linux was rather distrubing. We purchased a Dell PowerEdge 2400 (with the PERC2/si Raid Card) when recieved the machine it was not preloaded. In fact the raid driver was not finished. They finaly got us the driver after three weeks when to out suprise the driver was compiled for a specific version of the kernel (Dell's Special Tweaked version) which had a PPP problem (which we needed). I guess my point is RedHat and Dell get all sort of publicity for being open sourced, but yet we could not get the source code to compile the driver ourselves. Yet company like Caldera, IBM, and Mandrake get some publicity but it is almost an after thought. This is just my opinion. Peace Out.
