[MLUG] Switching from Bell

[Jean-Francois Theroux]

Intel has been doing a lot on the open source front in the recent years
and it shows now. Their hardware is so well supported these days, you
know you won't have any issues if you buy their hardware.

ATI announced this week they will be open sourcing
the specs for their GPUs (including all the latest ones like the HD models).

We're definitely going in the right direction.
