DELL HAS announced that punters in the United Kingdom, France and Germany can order an Inspiron E1505N 6400 notebook or an Inspiron 530N desktop with Ubuntu 7.04 pre-installed.

Dell's US customers have been installing Ubuntu in the United States since May, and a spokesDell said that there had been many requests from customers all over the world to offer Linux in their home countries.

Under the scheme, Dell will configure and install open source drivers for hardware, when possible for these new products.

There are no prices announced yet, but normally the laptops work out about $50 cheaper than Dell's Home Versions.

It seems that Dell is also offering SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 factory-installed on select consumer notebooks and desktops in China.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
