Why is it still not possible to buy a Dell laptop (Linux preloaded) in the Netherlands?

Jim, use the Service tag at support.dell.com to look up warranty information, which will tell you when it originally shipped.

Woohoo! I anxiously await the advent of the next several ubuntu models :) I may want to get the ubuntu netbook for my mom if the price is right.. Got an all-in-one for my grandparents, perhaps?

I guess I'll just have to wait and see...

I'd really like to read a summary of your panel discussion, since I can't attend (it's a long drive from Sweden). And a summary of mr Judd's and Crawford's session as well. :)

Every now and then I get into diskussions related to this, since I bought a XPS M1330 (no 'n') and installed Ubuntu on it. Partly because I want to support a company that I think is going in the right direction. The objection tends to be along the lines that Dell hasn't done their part, that it's not good enough and that I shouldn't support something that's not perfect.

What I understand is that maybe Dell doesn't get much profit from their Linux endevours on the desktop, but you must get a lot of valuable insight. Sooner or later this knowledge will benefit you, because desktop Linux isn't getting smaller. So I'm looking for some arguments coming directly from the source! :D
