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.

My company is in the U.K. but I think we can ship to most of Europe as well. The laptop I've been testing for Linux compatibility today only weighs 2.1Kgs and is fully loaded and (so far) fully compatible.
So I can say there are some small vendors out there trying hard to bring these things to market.
My E-mail address is in my profile if anyone wants details.

There are other, smaller, companies out there selling 100% Linux compatible laptops. Would you not consider buying from them?
Even the company I work for is going to be selling a 13.3" Widescreen, Dual Core laptop as soon as the stock arrives and we don't even deal with Windows so MS never get a penny from us.
I'm not allowed to link the website as it's being redesigned at the moment, and I wouldn't want to seem to be blatantly self advertising. Anyone interested can e-mail me for details though.
