Go Tell Lenovo What Distribution You’d Like On the Thinkpad!
I wanted to quickly share this link. There is a public poll on Lenovo Blogs asking what distribution the people want.
Here is the link. Go make your voice heard for Ubuntu!

If gets the frontpage, then the digg ubuntu army will vote for sure.
Huzzah!
Ubuntu has like 90% of the votes!
Thanks Chris!
Argumentum ad populum. Meaningless vote result.
I am a Fedora User, and you know what ? I didn’t vote for Fedora ?
Why ? Because right before I clicked the “Fedora” option, I saw this one :
“Anyone that refuses to carry binary-only drivers, so that all others will also benefit, as it will require documented hardware”
And then I thought “Hey ! What is the most important ? That the ditro I love can beat every other one ? Or that free software wins ?”
Here is the point : ATI closed drivers suck. Nvidia ones are great, but they are closed-source, and thus not “ethical”. My idea is that my computer should be able to run only free software if I choose to. And this is only possible with fully compatible hardware.
And really, having a preinstalled distro is nearly as bad as having a preinstall Windows. You know that after 6 months with your brand new DistroX-powered laptop, you’ll just format and then install the new release of “DistroX”. So what was the point with having a preinstalled DistroX over a preinstalled DistroY ?
