Star Dell To Choose Ubuntu?
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 30th Apr 2007 22:27 UTC, submitted by editingwhiz
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."

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".

They didn't need to or rather didn't have the resources to win the desktop. They are happy with their niche, in expensive, reliable real time systems and we should wish them well.

Too crowded here anyway.
