Earlier today, we began offering Ubuntu 7.10 on the Inspiron 530n desktop to customers in China. We did this because many Dell China customers have asked about it there.
Ubuntu 7.10 offers many new functions. such as DVD playback. Update from Lionel: My apologies, we are not supporting DVD playback in China.
In the time since we introduced Ubuntu 7.10 in the United States, the U.K., France, Germany, Spain, Latin America and Canada, our engineers have been testing Ubuntu so we could offer it there. Dell China Ubuntu customers can call Dell for basic installation and configuration help. Canonical will provide one year tech support. Customers in China can get more details about the operating system at Canonical's Ubuntu website here.
Last year, we introduced Optiplex 330 and 755 preinstalled with SUSE Linux Desktop 10. This is another step in that process.
I'm going to buy a Latitude D630 in China, Could Dell consider adding it to his Linux PC list?
Aussie aussie aussie, oi oi oi. Oi Dell, bring them here. Other companies have already got the jump on you. I bought XP based computers (3 in the last two weeks) and I want an Ubuntu laptop soon. I'm putting my money where my blogging fingers are, so gimme gimme gimme.
I have a feature request for the Dell Remastered version of Ubuntu when 8.04 releases. Can you offer a 64bit edition?
Thanks,
Jim
Wonderful ,I am using the Ubuntu 7.04 to send this message. I 'm Chinese.
Great news! I bought one DELL Dimension desktop PC cobundled with Redflag Linux CDs (not pre-installed) at the end of 2006, and it's been working perfectly ever since. It's my favorite desktop PC at home. I've being using Ubuntu since 6.10 on my 4-year-old Inspiron 600m laptop, and it never dissappoints me. DELL will be my only choice when buying a new PC or laptop. I always recommend my friends to buy a DELL when they ask me for advice. Ubuntu also runs smoothly on my DIYed PC.
that's cool, this computer so cheap, I will buy one next month. I am here in China.
I like Linux. The bad thing is, I'll start to use a Windows Mobile ceil phone soon....
My computer is Dell D620 T5600 ,Please help me how to get the Ubuntu 7.10,and how to get the drivers? Thanks!
Dell is getting closer to China's customers.
Good decision,good product.
Cool. And looking forward Dell laptops with Ubuntu pre-installed.
That's great news! Dell is getting closer to Australia now. I think it should be here when 8.04 is released. Perfect timing.
good
cool
