Having a laptop that can do DVDs now, I started searching for updates on LinDVD, which was originally demoed over a year ago. Here's the support take on it (names removed to protect the innocent). What I find interesting is the mention of Dell and Gateway... Dell said they weren't offering Linux support on the desktop/laptop market anymore, and I haven't heard a peep from Gateway on the issue, one way or the other. -- Michael Vieths Email: Foeclan at Winternet.com Web: http://www.geekbear.net -------- Original Message -------- Subject: RE: LinDVD Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2001 16:37:06 -0700 Michael, I just know few of the OEMs. You can try Dell or Gateway. We will release LinDVD however we don't know when because we are still testing this software.

I already have a computer, I'd just like to buy a Linux DVD player for it. Do you have a list of OEMs that it's been released to? Is it ever going to be released commercially? An OEM copy of it isn't of particular use to me when I already own a DVD drive. > Michael, > > LinDVD has been released to certain OEMs in the market.
