Creating a Linux-Specific Hardware Vendor of Our Own

“The eWeek headline read ‘Linux Desktop Needs Major Vendor Support.’ A hopeful Steven J. Vaughn-Nichols opinion piece that someday, somewhere, some company will have the guts to face down Microsoft and make it possible for anyone and everyone to easily buy a GNU/Linux desktop. The ‘some company’ he was referring to was obviously the tier one vendors: IBM, HP, and Dell. While we’re waiting for these tier ones to become so inclined, perhaps the GNU/Linux community’s appropriate course of action should be to do what we should have done long ago. That is, to create a Linux-specific hardware vendor (or vendors) of our own.”
