Dell to ship Ubuntu!

At last, Dell is going to ship Ubuntu on certain machines! This is great news for consumers (who will pay less – no OS license), it’s good news for the Ubuntu community, and it’s bad news for Microsoft, who can’t be too happy with Dell’s decision to start shipping XP again, as no-one wants Vista

I first installed Ubuntu about a year ago, while I was testing a MythTV setup, and i’ve pretty much been a convert ever since. However, as most of my work involves Flash, it’s tricky to move away from Windows completely – I can’t afford the downtime that might be caused by using an OS that doesn’t run Flash natively.

Hopefully i’ll find a solution to this problem as Ubuntu really is a fantastic OS, and i’d like to use it exclusively.
