This actually was made official on sunday the 27th of may 2007. A day I will never forget anytime soon if ever at all. The day that a computer vendor made a deal of faith, to ship ubuntu linux pre-installed on their hardware. I’m not expecting the world to start using linux over night but this definatlely will be a door opener of some sort. Things have been put into motion all that is left is the people’s Re-action Sales of systems pre-configured with linux will tell how the market received Ubuntu linux on Dells.

Another thing ran through my mind like lighting searing my brain tissue as the through echoed. What if The pirates in the world in all their arghness start purchasing ubuntu pre-installed systems only to format it and install their illegal copy of windows xp, vista 2000 or as recently brought to our attention longhorn reloaded. Lets hope nothing like this actually happens.

There are 3 systems that dell has decided are fit for usage with ubuntu. Two desktops which are amd core based systems and 1 notebook “e1505n which technically is the same as a 6400″ which is an intel based system. I’ve got the 6400 and it runs perfectly. wireless memory card reader the works.
