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

At least the hardware will be certified, so (in theory) booting from a fresh Feisty install CD will leave you with a "crapware" free install, with 100% working hardware
