Dell have announced they will sell systems bundled with Ubuntu [1] 7.04 (Feisty Fawn), though the details are yet to be announced. Here’s hoping that this time they escape beyond the USA (hello Dell, there is a world outside the US!). There’s also a report on the BBC [2], which is where I first saw this mentioned.
On the Direct2Dell page that announces this [1] there is a video interview with Mark Shuttleworth of Canonical [3] in a variety of formats, including the free Theora codec. [4] Props to Dell for including that.
If this gets to Australia I suspect my next laptop will be ones of these Dell’s (as long as they have a model with an Intel graphics card).
