Re: Linux on X50

hello !
i still doesn't have a x50v, but i'm starting in a new
job, so soon i'll buy one. i'm a linux enthusiast, and
also study linux in the college, then i want to run
linux on my future x50v.
i'm thinking about calling people from dell and intel,
as was discussed here before. if the people who
already
called them, or who have the phone numbers, could
please send them to the mailing list or put the phones
in the project page ? i'm planning on calling them
asking for some help and tell the effort to port linux
for the dell x50. well if hp help linux on their
handhelds, why dell don't do the same ?
