Dell lays an ogg(theora &vorbis); supports the open standard!

ogg theora is an open &standard video codec for the ogg container.

not that i really need any pr videos. but its more that they keep doing lil things like this that make me believe that they really are serious about embracing open source. of course the day i get one of their catalogs with a linux laptop or desktop, that's when i'll know that they're serious. until then, i wish i would stop getting their vista pushers.

StudioDell videos now in Ogg Theora/Vorbis

Since we started posting Video Blogs on Direct2Dell, we've made sure the videos were available in the Free format Ogg Theora / Ogg Vorbis.   The team over at StudioDell has been creating lots of new videos, several about Linux, and now, they too are available in Ogg Theora, as well as Flash, WMV, and MP4.  Simply click on the title of the video you want, click on the Download tab, and choose the format you want.  All Linux distributions support Ogg playback natively without needing to download additional patent-encumbered or proprietary codecs.
