From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yeah fuck them both then, dell think it's a good idea and microslop also think it's a good and allowed dell to do it
It is a good idea. Firmware updates can improve stability and performance. Just because it failed this time doesnt mean that all the other times it silently worked were also bad ideas.
