</div>Well said. I'm a big fan of OpenBox and Avant Window Navigator, it may<br>
not be for everyone, but hot-diggity, it sure works for me.<br>

Back to the discussion of the Dell "developers" linux laptop: As a<br>
cynic, I will say "based on Dell's past history with Linux machines,<br>
this will be discontinued in 6 months". As a Linux enthusiast, I will<br>
say "Dell working with hardware vendors to get Open Source drivers for<br>
the track pad will be a benefit for the entire Linux community".<br>
<br>
The developer-centric "feature" being added to the OS sound like a<br>
simple inclusion of apt meta-packages that a user can selectively<br>
install on the machine.<br>
