Part of me wonders if Dell just assumes that anybody who expects their computer to work is immediately deleting the pre-installed Windows and replacing it with a better OS (I expect any major GNU/Linux distro would have had that working). Sadly, I'd need to swap out the data acquisition hardware at the roasters and possibly add some additional hardware support (one of the machines is a bit odd in what it presents for data loggers) to Typica in order to do that. It'll probably happen eventually.
