No more Linux on desktop

Lunix's only good chance to get into Desktops is gone, after largest PC maker, DELL, trashes the OS from notebooks and desktops. Yes!, excellent!, hehehehe!
Dell Computer has ceased shipping Linux on its desktop and notebook PCs.
Citing slow demand for the operating system on client PCs over the last several quarters, a Dell spokesman said the PC maker chose to stop preinstalling Red Hat Linux on desktop and notebook models.
The move was not unexpected. Dell executives have suggested that the operating system has more potential for workstations and servers. The desktop decision was largely a financial one, influenced by the slow PC market, said Dell spokesman David Graves.
