[K12OSN] Dell Offers Enterprise Linux Operating System from Novell to Address Growing Market for Thin Clients

[Accessys@smart.net]

try actually getting one. I have one on order from Dell and I've
already had the ship date pushed back 4 times by Dell now over 6 weeks
and still waiting to actually see the dang thing.
