hmm...This is a feb.21 article and so far we've seen nothing like this on dell.com.br website. Not to mention that Inspiron Mini 9 is available on the US but not here. I've asked dell's sales representants about inspiron mini 9 availability with Ubuntu and so far all they told me is that 'this information is not available'. I guess dell don't care about latin america. good to know.

....gonna get an eeepc anyway.

Will Dell offer Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 when it is released by Ubuntu?

I waited, and I was not disappointed.

Thank you Dell, from one of your Canadian customers.

Gregg said: "It happens there are other distributions out there. I prefer Slackware, and I have it running native on two Dell systems, an Optiplex GX150, and a Dimension V400. Ideally we should be given a broader choice, and that includes all of the known distributions out there, or to install our own."

Yes, Ideally. But they also run a business, and given the (currently) small Linux market share, the best they can do is offer one distro. Now, they do understand your point, and they always aim at contributing their modifications upstream, so their hardware should eventually "just work" in any distro (once the upstream changes are taken buy the different distros). There is a lot of cool info here (including links to projects they host, etc)

Installing your own is always an option, I am not sure what you mean. You get a computer with no MS Tax, you can remove Ubuntu and put something else.

Note: I have no relationship with Dell, and I have actually been very pissed back in 2000 when I spent 3 hours on the phone trying to buy a computer with RedHat preinstalled to no avail ... but I do understand things have changed.
