Ubuntu on Dell

May 28, 2007 by Michele Neylon 3 Comments

Dell has launched its range of Ubuntu powered desktops. At present the product range is only available for purchase in the US.
If you go to the dedicated OSS site you will be greeted with this (click to enlarge) :

and the product page has the following: (click to enlarge)

The introductory text is pretty clear:

ou asked, we listened. For advanced users and tech enthusiasts, we’re happy to offer a new open-source operating system, so you can dive in and truly enjoy a PC experience just the way you want it. In addition to the FreeDOS systems we already offer, we are proud to announce PCs with Ubuntu.
Not sure Open Source is for You?
The main thing to note is that when you choose open source you don’t get a Windows® operating system. If you’re here by mistake and you are looking for a Dell PC with Windows…..

I wonder how long before we’ll be able to order these from Dell in Europe ….

    US is the biggest market for Dell, hence the “test bed” approach. If the sales figures are right, we’ll get it elsewhere – and I assume it’s not going to be long, probably later this year. Of course, the more noise users make about it, the better.
