Subject: Re: Dell Laptops


I think he may be talking about the ones with preinstalled Ubuntu.


Not to change the subject from the original question but the last time I
looked at Dell's site there was a netbook available and that was about it.
Their Ubuntu selection has been in "refresh" mode for quiet some time. I
would have purchased the Ubuntu version if it had been available. Dell
seems to be dropping the ball, at least the last time I looked. Maybe they
changed recently. Would be nice.
