Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu After yesterday's unconfirmed rumour about Ubuntu being pre-installed on Dell machines, it has now become official. In a joint statement released today, Dell and Canonical announced that Dell will now offer laptops and desktop computers pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux 7.04. The computers will be sold via Dell's web site, said Canonical's director of operations Jane Silber. "We have worked with Dell to get Ubuntu fully supported and fully certified on Dell hardware," she said. "Ubuntu has the full endorsement of Dell." Update: Ubuntu Linux 7.04 Feisty Fawn review by Extremetech.

if it will be like the "N" series, where the exact same computer with windows was 100 bucks cheaper AND it came with an LCD monitor.

the main thing for me is seeing some sort of palpable savings on the windows/linux front, I'm not looking to see a huge difference in cost, but $40 - $50 bucks would be reasonable.
