TINMAN DELL has fixed a solid state storage problem on its Mini 9 netbooks that robbed Linux punters of three quarters of their storage.
The outfit has come up with the novel idea of actually giving the punters what they paid for when they bought the gear.
The company ships the Mini 9 with either 8GB or 16GB of solid-state storage. However some of the early Ubuntu models were given a 4GB disk image which meant that up to 12GB of precious disk space is being laid to waste in an unused partition.
Some Ubuntu users acused Dell of shipping a smaller hard disk than stated but got jolly confused when they had a peek at the BIOS and found that the 16GB drive is actually there.
Dell said that it has spotted and corrected the problem, and suggests affected users run the recovery DVD to correct the problem.
