   subject: Dell Desktops and Notebooks with Ubuntu 7.04 now available

   They're here! Today we're unveiling our three consumer systems -- the
   XPS 410n and Dimension E520n desktops and the Inspiron E1505n notebook
   -- with the Ubuntu 7.04 Linux distribution factory
   installed. Available today in the U.S., the systems target
   the Linux enthusiast community and are a direct result of your
   feedback on IdeaStorm[1]. It's true... you will be able to
   customize and purchase Dell's Ubuntu systems at www.dell.com/open.
   Just as you asked, the base price for each system is competitively
   priced and fully configured. Hardware support is available through
   normal Dell support channels, along with the option of selecting
   Ubuntu-specific support through Canonical, and a variety of software
   support options are available. www.dell.com/open has all the details
   about the configurations and the support options. And check out
   today's post on Direct2Dell[2] to watch a vlog from Dell's Linux
   Engineering team sharing their perspectives on today's
   announcement. Be sure to stop by and tell us what you think on
   Direct2Dell[3].
