They're here! Today we're unveiling our three consumer
systems -- the XPS 410n and Dimension E520n desktops and the Inspiron
E1505n notebook -- with the Ubuntu 7.04 Linux distribution factory
installed. Available 4pm (CST) today in the U.S., the systems target
the Linux enthusiast community and are a direct result of your feedback
here on IdeaStorm. It's true… later today you will be able to customize
and purchase Dell’s Ubuntu systems at
www.dell.com/open.
Just
as you asked, the base price for each system is competitively priced
and fully configured. Hardware support is available through normal Dell
support channels, along with the option of selecting Ubuntu-specific
support through Canonical, and a variety of software support options
are available. Click here to read all the details about the configurations and the support options. And check out today's post
on Direct2Dell to watch a vlog from Dell's Linux Engineering team
sharing their perspectives on today's announcement. Be sure to stop by
and tell us what you think on Direct2Dell.
Back to the idea: Pre-Installed Linux | Ubuntu | Fedora | OpenSUSE | Multi-Boot
