a link from the Dell site noting that Michael Dell is using Ubuntu Linux at home (7.04, Feisty Fawn) on a Precision M90 laptop loaded with Openoffice.org and Evolution. If one were betting on which distro Dell will eventually ship pre-installed, this factoid might be food for thought. Oh, and Micheal Dell's gaming system uses XP Media Center edition.

So Dell is serious about Linux Desktop and they may be selecting Ubuntu as a matter of fact.

Michael Dell has a life, 3 state of the art laptops and 2 "superman" desktop PCs. I wish I were his relative :D
