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.

With Dell I had the same next day turn around; but "it was the suck". It seemed like I was always on the phone with them.
I have to hand it to DELL they do have a great viral marketing campaign. Part 1. Make your hardware not very reliable, this causes you the, customers, to call in and get replacement parts mailed to your locations, and remark about how good they were at fixing you problem. Part 2 have every box from DELL branded with a Giant logo.
Result: Allot of people see and Hear Dell all day long.
