continued. wonderbriefs, lilleprechaun, TallMatthew, grettir, sunscoolsu, Carambole, romandas, 361jim, pwhitt, Ubugreen Now this looks to me like evidence that Dell is not actually turning the laptops on before shipping them out. This is an outrage. Dell has offered to refund my money. Rather than refund my money I want Dell to publish a report stating that they have revised their testing practices and are actually making sure that Ubuntu works on each and every laptop before sending them out. So I'm just curious, was this on purpose? Does Dell have some secret dealing to try to turn people off of Ubuntu? Or is Dell knowingly sending out defective laptops to force users to purchase the $250.00 Ubuntu support from Canonical? Well Dell, what do you have to say for yourselves?

I am disgusted and outraged by the fact that Dell is shipping their Dell Studio 15 with Ubuntu preinstalled and NOT VERIFYING THEY TURN ON before shipping them out. When my first Dell Studio 1535 arrived and would boot up to the "white screen of death" as it has come to be known, I figured they could just send me another and it would work right out of the box. When the second was delivered, it also had the exact same problem. Then I started looking on Ubuntu forums and found that the majority of people who bought a Dell Studio 1535 with the Intel chipset are experiencing the exact same problem. Here is a thread on Ubuntu Forums where the subject has been discussed at length. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=892146 The following are just the people I have found on the forum with this same model of laptop and same issue. wonderbriefs

India, India, India!! When is Dell going to wake up to the demand for Ubuntu laptops in India??!!??!! That is a prime market for Ubuntu laptops; more people will buy if they can avoid paying the Microsoft tax - and save themselves the headache of installing and configuring all the hardware themselves. Why is the India-specific area of the website bereft of ALL Ubuntu-preloaded models?

Or at least give us the freedom to buy, without any OS preinstalled, the same models that you're selling in the US with Ubuntu; those of us who're geeks will go the extra mile and install it ourselves!

Why is Dell so focussed on providing Ubuntu only in the US, and ignoring the pleas from the rest of the world to provide them the same?

Another vote for Ubuntu preinstalled on Dell computers in New Zealand!

We want a choice!

Dell; please give us Ubuntu on XPS laptops in Australia!!

I'm going to be getting a Dell XPS M1530 in the coming few weeks and would love to get this with Ubuntu, not likely though in the timeframe that I have :-(

If it wasn't workable, you wouldn't be selling this option anywhere; why the slow rollout of the product? - so many people want a major vendor to sell laptops with Linux pre-installed.

Just don't cave in to Micro$oft pressure....
