Dell & Ubuntu - Not in the UK
There’s been a lot of talk in the past day or so about Dell finally listing a desktop computer system for sale without Windows XP or Windows Vista, shipping with the option of Ubuntu instead. The pricepoints are interesting as well, with the Ubuntu-installed machines coming in at a lower price than their Windows installed equivalents.
Given that the Dimension E520 desktop starts at around £249, I figured I’d see what the Ubuntu price was - but it seems that the much-vaunted “Dell Sells Ubuntu-based Desktops” only applies in the US, as there’s no mention anywhere on the European Dell website of any models that feature Ubuntu as a choice of OS.

It’s just another case of us being left out… it will come eventually…
