"Remember: Michael Dell himself used Ubuntu on a home
PC before Dell (the company) decided to sell Ubuntu systems in

blogging about your global partner strategy, start speaking with

source — very loudly — from those solutions providers.
(Heck, look at our WorksWithU 1000 list for dozens of schools and
government organizations already running Ubuntu.)"
