"I figured I'd call with a Linux support question and inform them that I had installed the open source operating system on the Windows machine I bought from them."
He bought a WINDOWS based machine and installed Linux on it and expected the store or the manufacturer to support it? If it came pre-installed with Windows, I'm sure the manufacturer never intended on it being Linux compatible. Sure, since it's x86 based it should work. But seriously, how can one expect support after installing a completely new OS?
Maybe I missed the point of the artical, but no where did he mention the pc was advertised as Linux compatible/ready.
