Recently, Dell spokesman AnneCamden confirmed that Ubuntu is optional in Dell's new ronmini10 mini-book. What does this mean? Today, the basic structure of personal computers has not changed much compared with the ibm pc 30 years ago. The main board, CPU, video card, and memory stick ,...... however, the price is much lower, and the performance of components is also improved. The day before yesterday, I saw a young man holding a motherboard that he didn't need at the Zhongguancun computer market and wanted to handle it. He even paid 10 yuan for the store.

Recently, Dell spokesman Anne Camden confirmed that Ubuntu is optional in Dell's new "Mini 10 Mini series. What does this mean?

Today, compared with the ibm pc 30 years ago, the basic structure of personal computers has not changed much. The main board, CPU, video card, and memory stick ,...... however, the price is much lower, and the performance of components is also improved. The day before yesterday, I saw a young man holding a motherboard that he didn't need in Zhongguancun computer market and wanted to deal with it. He even made a deal with his shop boss for 10 yuan. At that time, I stood by and was shocked. I was wondering, how is a good-end motherboard as expensive as a pound of strawberries in the vegetable market? This is the computer motherboard! However, a new "technology plus" brand NF 520 motherboard is only 380 yuan, not comparable to the XP Home Edition (399 yUan after the price cut ). I am going to buy a good-quality motherboard (including BIOS), processor, memory stick, optical drive, video card, display, and power supply ,......, you just don't need to buy a chassis, place it on the workbench in disorder, and DIY it yourself. XP also buys a new set to see if it doesn't know the hardware. Maybe XP thinks that you are messing around, there is no chassis, no whole machine, I just don't go in (it cannot be activated), Ubuntu 9.04 won't think so, it will automatically identify these parts, and drive them ..

Let's get down to the truth. Dell, including its President, Mr. Dell, played on Ubuntu two years ago and has many feedback from users. Dell does not simply pre-install a set of Ubuntu products to bring them to the market, allowing users to choose freely. Dell decided to dress Ubuntu up to make it as a bride, and everyone looked at it. In other words, Dell has customized Ubuntu to beautify user interfaces, making "look and feel" Amazing. Thank you, Dell! This is fine. The Ubuntu mini-book desktop (FACE) is much more beautiful than XP (very old face. Who said users do not like new things? Dell provides many optional parts for this Ubuntu "mini-Book". The drivers (programs) of related components are of course no problem, and they are all clearly priced and genuine. I don't believe this new mini-book cannot be sold out. No one wants it! In the Zhongguancun computer store, XP, which assembles computers, is enchanting and strange. In fact, it is a modified version of XP. Next time, I want to bring a portable Ubuntu (U) disk and show them what is technology innovation. Argentina has developed a portable Ubuntu, which is definitely not a "Made in China" innovation. Why should we reject it? Yesterday afternoon, I went to the vegetable market with my wife to buy food and watched the Chinese-made hairline fish go in a daze. Is there a saying "Made in China" about hairtail? Software is made in China. It sounds awkward to me. Do you have your own "domestic" program compiler? The system software "Made in China" is totally out of breath (in this case, the editor can delete it ).

Dell is willing to advertise for Ubuntu computers, which is amazing. Who will advertise free software? I once tried to make a public advertisement for OpenOffice.org free office package in the open system World magazine, but the result was unsuccessful. I think Dell is far-sighted. Using free software to make money is my dream in, even if I only earn 5 yuan. So I am going to practice DIY computers to make some money. It is a pity that I (in the past) will not make money. I will try again in my lifetime (using free software to make money ).
