[...] Last time I wrote about Dell, it was about the rumor that they had sold 40 thousand Ubuntu PCs. At the time I was concerned with the lack of updates to the Ubuntu line. These recent upgrades are good, but the PCs themselves are still outdated. Dell’s announcement didn’t mention if there are going to be new systems with Ubuntu. [...]

I, my self, am waiting for a larger selection of laptops that are not from a line that is 3 years old! When they offer more current selections for Ubuntu preinstalled pc’s then I will purchase one, until then I will continue installing it my self on the pc of my choice.

IdeaStorm was world-wide. Dell’s Ubuntu PCs are not.

I was offered a laptop for my Christmas present and chose the Dell Ubuntu laptop. My three main gripes where
1. The NVidia video card was not an option.
2. Gutsy was not an option.
3. Trying to upgrade to Gutsy gave me an unbootable machine.

Other than that I am loving my sweet new laptop.
