[Sussex] Dell going with Ubuntu

[linux at oneandoneis2.org]

Looks like they made it official now:

Being optimistic, I'm hoping this prompts a rash of hardware  
manufacturers suddenly wanting to make sure there's decent Linux  
support: Since Dell will be offering the same machines with either  
Vista or Linux, it's natural to assume that Dell will want to use  
hardware supported by both. So a Windows-only manufacturer will be at  
a distinct disadvantage.

Plus there's that standing offer of free Linux drivers from Greg KH  
that was made a while ago. Maybe at last I'll be able to buy that  
computer I always wanted, where every part of it has an open-source  
driver...

A man can dream! :o)
