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.

Jebus,why wouldnt they just put Debian on there,one then would have multitude of options for desktop linux via the many debian offshoots dedicated to just this point and click option.
Lame,I will be buying a laptop with no OS and do it my way.
I really dont even see why *buntu is so damn popular,its not the end all desktop solution,just overhype and marketing.
