Dell is getting ready to launch systems with Ubuntu Linux, but is not yet releasing details of the final specifications. However, the company did say on Friday that as well as a consumer version of Ubuntu, it had plans to launch a small-business version 'in the future'. After some confusion over Dell's Linux strategy, the company said it felt the need to clarify things. "I wanted to be clear that Dell does have plans to offer Linux to more consumers in additional locations outside the United States," said Dell's Lionel Menchaca, digital media manager.

I wish Dell would apply the deep coupon-code discounts they have in cataloges and sales papers to the Ubuntu systems too, specifically the laptops (since I usually just build my own desktops). The coupon-code discounts plus $50 off for the Windows "tax" would make for some very tantalizingly low prices.
I saw a US$649 Core Duo(!) Dell laptop in the Sunday paper. It had a gig of RAM (upgradable to 2) and a 100 gig HD. Don't know which exact model, but it was an Inspiron. Grabbing that for $599, one can only dream.
