Comment 657 for bug 1

My laptop came with linpus and no X.

Thats really great!!! And moreover atheros wi-fi was not working in linpus either.
They could just have put any graphical version or atleast mention in their website specifications for laptop. It just says Linux! Well, a click on shipit would have given free CD.
If its windows, they'd write Genuine ...... and also provide a link to microsoft.
Can't they write linux distro name and provide a link to that. Saves them time to explain what is being provided.

Laptop vendors supporting linux is just a matter of saying. Would they ship Vista without half the things working? No. They'd even take time to install their drivers on it.

This behaviour is because Linux distros are still not seriously being considered worthy for commercial market.
