The result was merge into DESTINATION PAGE. -- Zodon (talk) 06:57, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Suggest the list of Linux computers be merged into this list. Lists seem to be redundant. This one seems more developed so easiest to combine that list into this. I don't have much of a feel for which title the resulting list should be under (could go either way). Zodon (talk) 21:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Well, I am not pretty much for a merge... they are different. Dell Ubuntu computers are not Linux devices.--kozuch (talk) 21:32, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Why is the Dell not a Linux device? (Not saying they are, just not clear on why wouldn't be). If there is some distinction that disqualifies something like the Dell, which comes with Linux (I assume), but includes something like the xBox or the iPod, which don't come with Linux and weren't designed for it but are on this list, perhaps that should be clarified on the list or in the item about Linux devices. Perhaps a separate category within the list for systems like the Dell which can come with Linux or something else would be apropos? Or should the computers section be removed from this list and put on that one? Zodon (talk) 21:58, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
Somewhere along the way you've got to make the distinction between computers and models. I'd be for a merger. These tiny pages are pretty much useless.Aronzak (talk) 07:21, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
