Computer World reported:

Dell Inc. has announced that is adding a number of laptops and desktop
machines with the Linux operating system Ubuntu 8.04 installed.

According to a blog entry
<http://yourblog.direct2dell.com/2008/07/18/dell-upgrades-consumer-linux-pcs-to-ubuntu-804/>
by Anne Camden, the Inspiron 1525, the XPS M1330 and the Inspiron 530
desktop machine are now available with the operating system, which is
also known as Hardy Heron.

"Dell spent months in development and testing to deliver more peripheral
support -- like ATI video graphics, Dell wireless, fingerprint readers,
HDMI, Bluetooth and MP3/WMA/WMV," said Camden.

The machines, available in multiple countries, also offer the ability to
select a language during the first boot process.

"Just a few more steps toward making Linux more accessible by helping to
ensure it 'just works' right out of the box," added Camden.

According to Daniel Judd, in another Dell blog post
<http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2008/07/18/select-systems-now-available-with-ubuntu-8-04.aspx>,
the PC manufacturer in August will add the XPS M1530 and Studio 15n to
the range of PCs using Ubuntu 8.04.

After reading this Frank drank a whole bottle of Malox. Then ate an
entire box of Exlax and downed that with some Xanax.


Lamb Chop and Moneky had to go to ER.

Yes, you may be running OpenSores Linux but you have NO CLUE what to do with
it once it's running. Better use your fallback plan.

Install Ubuntu. Install Windows 2008 Server. Install Vista. Rinse.
Repeat.
