Any chance Hardy Heron will come preinstalled any time soon?

John,

I'm purchasing a Vostro 1500 tomorrow, and I will immediately delete Windows and put Ubuntu on it. I wouldn't buy this computer if it wasn't for Dell's support of Linux on the desktop, and that it is so well documented how to get everything working on this model.

I feel bad this isn't giving credit (and a sale) directly where its due (your team), and instead it will go down as yet another Windows XP sale. Hey, at least it is not a Vista sale, I'd have serious ethical issues about that. But the Vostro hardware, while similar to Inspirons is also significantly better and a little cheaper, and the Ubuntu XPS is out of my price range.

Is there anything else I can do to signal my support more accurately to the Dell Corporate Machine?

Thanks.

I am another Australian who would like to buy a laptop with Ubuntu (without Windows and with legal DVD playback). Why is this not available here?

+1 for Australia. Have recently purchased 3 XP desktops from Dell (for work - specific windows software) and want a lappie for home with Ubuntu. Pioneer Computers in Australia offer it, why can't Dell.

New markets, bring it on!

Australia pleeeeaaaase.

How about a ultra-portable like the eeePC with Ubuntu pre-loaded or a product with Ubuntu Mobile.
