i DELL & all,

Well, I have gone through the review for UBUNTU Support in DELL...

well, DELL's target is 1$ billion for next year...but i give u a guarantee that u introduce a UBUNTU in INDIA...and probably in 1 more year u will hit a market of 3$ billion.. Since, now indian government is also switching to low cost i,e; Linux market..

So, Dell...We linux community are very clear....we dont tell you to stop propritery Software...but at the same time we want to tell you do think about a potential of OpenSource market....

No, Problem if you dont do it...obviously some other company will do that...

Come on DELL its time you Think for that...

Thanx..

hi, Well you can see from the previous blogs...that there are many requests from the INDIA for UBUNTU installed DELL laptop. I got very disapponted by hearing that DELL dont provides a support of UBUNTU in INDIA, a country which is a leading market for IT and also contributing more in a OPEN SOURCE Projects...

Open source also helps to reduce the costing in Laptop, since we dont have to use the costly licensed copy of another OS....

So,...DELL "WOKE UP"....INDIA strongly supports Open Source, you have an up coming potential market for Open source also...,please "SPEED UP",..We are waiting...

Thanxs...

Hi All

I just ordered dell Inspiron with winodws vista. I have been using ubuntu since 3 years. Ubuntu is free for everybody and there is a good community site that can help you to run ubuntu without any problem so why you are waiting for dell to release a machine with Ubuntu preinstalled. Do it yourself. Linux is quite powerfull system. Microsoft is not bad but not as good as linux. If any problem in Ubuntu install me please tell me.

Dell must have heard the complaints. I just bought a 1525 and it was the same price with Vista Home Premium as Ubuntu. Since I expect that MS practically gives Windows away to Dell and consumer versions get junk-ware installed if it comes with Windows I'd say it works out about right. I can't wait to get to play with it and test it out. I waited to order until I could get 8.04 pre-loaded on it.

I also found that an Ubuntu 1525 laptop was priced higher than a Windows machine with the exact same hardware. This is a bit dissapointing, but it's not like you can't buy the Windows machine and install Ubuntu yourself. However, if you don't go through the process of comparing them, you could get "gouged" unecessarily.
