[BRONCKENSTETTER]

what a rubbish video

[Dallouez]

I bought a Dell 6 months ago. One day poof NO CD/DVD. I tried to get to factory settings POOF I cannot! Call Dell and after 2 hour ryn around I ended up where I started. Now POOF windows is disapearing. Call Dell... KACHING (that your credite card being sucked dry). Took it appart WOW All parts from China, Milisa, Japan, Phillophines. Nothing Americian except the overinflated price. PS THOUSANDS of internet guys have the same problem. Told my clients to advertise on youtube it's FREE. LOOK!

[topito2]

having Linux on Dell desktops and notebooks is awesome!!!!!!!

[solaris10user]

DragonflyBSD !?

[betabrain]

60 days my butt

[BRONCKENSTETTER]

it is a joke but a really badly done one. heck this is so boring.

[zeldajunkielol2]

Dell doing this opens up so many more jobs for people who know how to use linux imo.

[xj2yzz]

First buy a computer with windows,try linux,if it dont work,put windows back on,never buy a computer with ubuntu on it already.

[jeroeniskoning]

But why pay $110 for Windows if you don't need it?

You can always download and crack Windows after all...

[spikespeigel]

this is goofy :) just like linux devs

[ablemike]

Soooooooooooo laaaaaaaaaame!

[aq1sw2de3fr]

Wtf is Bobubuntu McFreeware using windows at 2:34? What a sellout!

[jsilve1]

This video sucks, plain and simple. Plus I saw ZERO incidents of Linux running on the computer screens that were in it here and there. wtf?

[Brainfuckinyourhead]

Bobubuntu McFreeware <-- lol ^^

[thomashome05]

2:16 not using Ubuntu Linux there. OK I can understand using Windows on some desktops but come on using Windows to type a document. Dell is NOT serious about Linux. They release this useless propaganda. Dell are not not serious about. Also if you want a REAL OS try something called Mac OS X. Really I like Ubuntu but really how do you plan to say you like Linux if you don't take it seriously like Google. I don't care if your staff hate it tell them to learn there own hardware.

[rockwizclown]

sure u can try mac os x, if you're a communist.yes, try mac os x, if you're stupid. of course, use mac os x, if you know nothing about computers. Use mac os x, if u want to use a computer that uses u.

[spikespeigel]

not really...i use both the mac OS and linux, both are about as configurable as you can get...

[Dojan5]

I think this is a joke.

Debian have you encountered any KERNEL's (Linux is a Kernel) of knowledge.

I'm a bit unsure, does she say "Thanks Gnome"? if so, GNOME is a popular window manager, used not only by Linux systems.

And, as Amebixfan said, Debian Gnusome (Debian, popular Linux distro, GNU (GNU is Not Unix) has to do with open source).

Many OpenSources of knowledge.

So it is a joke, right?

[DellVlog]

Very much a joke.

[cyborgtroy]

Well the lady is named Debian...

So... yeah.

[minigilani]

lol .. ofcourse ..

.

the guy in a rux was named Boobuntoo McFreeware .. =P

[comorbid]

I'm surprised that he missed the one lady named Fawn FEISTY-LICIOUS-OPEN-SOURCE-RON­I.

And I'm not that easily surprised.

[hossrex]

If there is but one lie in this video (and trust me, there are multiple), its that technical support people DO NOT USE LINUX.

Tech support people don't want to come home and spend that much time making sure their operating system works. Thats what they do all day for retarded people.

Tech support people either use Windows... or actually more often MacOS.

Spend eight hours a day fixing stupid peoples computers. Would you want to come home and do the same for yourself?

Nope.

Propaganda.

[n00bf4rm]

AGREED I do Tech Support and I am a Junior Systems Admin, I talk to and help people with issues, and most issues is because of their Button pushing abilities and their OS which is WINDOWS, BUT windows will never ever go away it has too big of a client base with the businesses. When i get home im realy happy to see that my linux box is still up and running, no viri, and no crashes, and HMMM i can still do everything that windows can do

[Ranguvar13]

I'm not part of Dell, but I do tech support, and I use Linux on all my machines.

Linux is hard to fix if you're new to it and know Windows, but if you're experienced with both Windows and Linux, as I am, trust me - Linux presents FAR fewer problems, and is FAR easier to fix. Linux is actually logical, unlike Winblows or Mac.

[scilonthreat]

there's a typo, you switched Linux and Windows by accident.

[jsilve1]

False. I do tech support and I use only Linux.

[jeroeniskoning]

Linux 4 life

[xXEduBuntuXx]

xdd -..-

[Amebixfan]

Debian GNUsome LOLOLOL

[1l2nb]

thats fun

[ScionT2B]

Ubuntu is on the Inspiron Mini

[wolffangalchemist]

just more proof linux (specificly Ubuntu) is gonna go main stream soon.

[UbuntuLee]

Linux owns all!

[wolffangalchemist]

hey UbuntuLee great commercial huh? =D

[insanity54]

Is this an official Dell video? If so, It looks like Dell would be a fun place to work!

[DellVlog]

Yes.

[13thpersoncomedy]

can i get one of these linux laptops to middle east?

[edwin768]

I work at Auto Zone and we use Red Hat on Dell Machines

[Whack78]

debian gnusome? Good lord, try harder next time

[AndrooUK]

Wow, thought the computer manufacturers would have been pwned by Microsoft for this!

[naruto90123]

WOW all the websites on here are true

[darthvesgo]

Linux Owns ANY Windows!!!

P.S: Geez that fat guy at 1:05 is really weird!!

[inuyasha626]

Anybody else notice the reporters' names? Debian and Gnome?

[audioslavelover]

yes! I have linux and Debian is a package, and another linux os. and GNOME is the, well actually I just got linux and have a lot to learn about it.

[LordDestros]

GNOME is a desktop environment. The other most common one is KDE.=

[GegoXaren]

*whispering in wired voice*

stop lying..

qt suck, qt suck.....

*whispering in wired voice*

[22dedeurwaerder]

Debian is a distribution! anyway, learn, learn, learn.....and have FUN!

[AnonymousMachine]

What the hell is wrong with the fat guy at 1:05??

[adanedhel728]

He's being a penguin :D

[Fraggor]

:D :D :D IT'S TUX!!

[Abercr0mbie4life]

I too have observed the fat man, and yes, he does simulate a penguin with great likeness.

[22dedeurwaerder]

you are right! that's the plot!

[adanedhel728]

Oh my gosh, I absolutely cracked up when I saw that person in the background waddling into the Dell building.

[3aCmaluHa]

The Dell-Linux thing was just an advertisement marketing operation to me. Buying a Dell laptop with linux you dont get advantages in price, and you need to buy old hardware. You're not truly free to choose the os, e.g. in new machines. Dell is just like the others.

[marrrrrrks]

This was a joke

[christoph2005]

Dell puts inferior hardware on the computers they supply with linux (because linux can do more with less really) but It's kinda a ploy for dell to get rid of old hardware.

And in either case, you really shouldn't get dell. You should just become informed and build your own pc. It's 10x better and 10x cheaper than anything you'll get from dell.

Laptops are a different story though.

[zbowling]

Gnome is pronounced it GhU-nome (like GNU). Not gnome (like a lawn gnome).

[juneangel83]

Dell sucks!!!

[MRauron]

"Sometimes I do feel like I am living two lives. I come into work, and develop for that other operating system. But then I get home, and I play with my Linux." ROFL!

[demoabi]

did somebody notice that all people getting in and out its the same

[inachu]

I will not get DELL with linux on it until true 3D video support is available.

[carfreak92]

Love the little GNU puns.

[semiliteratedgod]

lmao @ 3:25

[zeb120]

ive had hopeless experience with a $1500 laptop, inspiron 6400. it was shit, i wish i had an apple one. i dont know wat to do

[AndrewL123]

is this suppose to be a joke?? i dont ge it cuz it seems really really fake and his jokes are crap

[thisismirul]

lol. debian gnusome?!!?

[PeninsulaBoy217]

"Debian GNUsome"? LOL!

[danmarcu21]

DEBIAN GNUsome? ROFL!!! if that's her real name, she was the one for the news

[HopePoisoned]

i think this video needs a lot more linux jokes

[KhaosReborn]

Brilliant marketing scam. Package Linux on desktop computers so overzealous noobs can buy them and think they're "leet", then screw them with the technical support =P

[bigjoe4265]

Sofaking retarded!

[owntjoo]

the best part is that linux is free, the worst part is how hard WINE is to use from beginners, and how dumb the ending was -.-

heh heh feistyfawnalicious XD

[WPosche]

need a new laptop in September, so if Dell Linux laptops make it to Germany by then, I'll be a first time Dell customer

[ballg]

did you see that guy walking like a penguin, he was doing it on purpose.

also i have to say this, sexy.

[evanjm]

60 days ftw.

Fedora for me :)

[lajjarna]

I'm using Linux.

Ubuntu 7.04 acctually.

__Everything Works Excellent__

And you can't disagree with the fact that Compiz Fusion is cool..! Just search for it and you'll see impressive desktop effects.

[ffluvio]

WTF???

I can't see the video!

[cyberjackcyberjack]

linux rocks, sodd bill gates !! & vista.....lol goes without saying

[sddallas]

lol

[stockjonebills]

OSX > vista > Linux.

[overmind2]

you do know that mac is based off of the same kernal as linuk right?

[danzk]

Wrong gnu/linux is based on the linux kernel.

Mac OS X is based on the Mach kernel wish is based on BSD Unix

[AntoniusMisfit]

Nope. Mac uses Darwin, which is BSD-based, not Linux.

[Lam1ngton]

Spoken like a true n00b

[PolliFaxToaster]

you have to start somewhere. a linux beginner is better than windows of any experience.

[Kragnerac]

This is the best. :D

[stevebalmer]

Oh darn, Linux is way too cool.

[djGentoo]

Oops... Headphones ftw!

[djGentoo]

No sound? Wtf?

[Linuxrat]

I'm using Linux..I have sound.

[ukeleke]

i like corporations with a sense of humor, its not something you see everyday anyway

[DaveOJ]

definitely

[RyanD124]

I hate Dell. they suck.

[LeeWangG]

lol

[eruagnostic]

McFreeware?

They still need to get af few facts...

[east1337]

vista

[Lapeth1]

east1337, you're not making any sense.

[RichardBurton01]

I for one found it funny and if I get a laptop from Dell it will be Linux, though I've already got a Unix one with a Scottish sounding name.

[xlinuks]

That was actually pretty... nice!

I would love Dell to sell Ubuntu Computers here in Europe too!

[BHSPitMonkey]

That was actually pretty... stupid.

[pshapiro]

i loved this video -- playful, funny, silly, self-mocking.  excellent!

[jqpope]

Please accept our apologies for the delay, irish80122. If we don't make the revised date please click 'unresolved issues' on the front of our website. BTW, there's no pretense about Dell being from Texas. Our corporate offices are in Round Rock and we have manufacturing facilities in Austin. In addition to Texas and Malaysia, we also manufacture in Nashville, Tenn., Winston-Salem, N.C., Ireland, Brasil and China. We're also building new sites in India and Poland.

[irish80122]

Round Rock, TX huh? Too bad my Dell laptop's shipping date has been delayed, due in part to it being built in Malaysia. Perhaps we should see how Dell is doing out there. Sorry, I am not usually so cynical, but I am just disappointed that you build in Malaysia and yet pretend to still be from Texas.

[jqpope]

Apologies for the delay, irish80122. If you have any diffculties please click 'unresolved issues' on our website. BTW, no pretense about Dell being from Texas. Our corporate offices are in Round Rock and we have extensive manufacturing in Austin. In addition to Malaysia and Texas, we also have plants in Tennessee, North Carolina, Ireland, China and Brazil. We're also building sites in India and Poland.

[macmtl]

You are making a moot point. Show me one high-tech corporation who has their manufacturing facilities in the same location as their headquarters.

And regarding the clip, it's actually funny in a geeky kind of way.
