Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu "Officially, Dell hasn't said a word yet about which Linux it will be preloading on its desktops and laptops. Several sources within Dell, however, have told DesktopLinux.com that Dell's desktop Linux pick is going to be Ubuntu. While unable to confirm this through official Dell channels, we have heard the same story now from several internal Dell sources. They tell us that the computer giant will be preinstalling the newly released Ubuntu 7.04. These systems will be released in late May 2007."

Red Hat and Novell investors should be a bit worried

now why would redhat be worried? no one will beat redHat on Server market , Oracle tried an failed, correct me if im wrong, so did mandrake.Mandriva, they failed all Ubuntu may Win is Desktop , though being a Ubuntu User its pretty Buggy if i say so myself so IMO this would be a stupid move by Dell if they were to do that

You sound like a IBM fanboy in the early nineties talking about Microsoft being buggy and nobody will ever use Windows on the server ;) Guess what ... Winning the desktop opens A LOT of doors.

im not a IBM fanboy, just telling it like it is, i use Ubuntu7.04 myself untill Fedora7 is final, an from my Point of Veiw is that Ubuntu is still to Buggy for the Desktop , IMO i think Fedora would be a better choice or Suse Ubuntu is like a newborn baby, still has its teething problems

That's what QNX (QSSL) didn't "get".
