p2pnet - rss feed: Dell keeps Ubuntu promise
p2pnet.net news:- Ubuntu is the way to go, says Dell, and putting its product where its mouth is, the company is launching three computer systems, including one notebook, with the open-source Linux operating system already on board.
The move represents the fulfilment of a promise Dell made at the beginning of this month.
In the company’s new IdeaStorm site, customers have a say in what systems Dell computers should feature and thousands were demanding Linux as an option on all Dell PCs.
Dell’s admitted interest in Linux didn’t mean it was ready to go the whole hog, but it did say that by the end of this month, Linux desktop PCs and laptops will come preloaded with Ubuntu Linux.
And here they are.
Dell’s $600 Dimension E520n comes from the companies budget-priced desktop PC line, says DesktopLinux.
The $900 XPS 410 line, “offers more powerful home desktop system than the E520s,” says the story, adding, “For a Linux-powered laptop, Dell is offering the ($750) Inspiron E1505n. This notebook is powered by the Intel Pentium dual-core 1.73GHz T2080. It also comes with an 80GB hard drive and a combined CDRW/DVD drive.”

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
