July 22, 2008 (PC Advisor) Dell Inc. has announced that is adding a
number of laptops and desktop machines with the Linux operating system
Ubuntu 8.04 installed.
According to a blog entry by Anne Camden, the Inspiron 1525, the XPS
M1330 and the Inspiron 530 desktop machine are now available with the
operating system, which is also known as Hardy Heron.
"Dell spent months in development and testing to deliver more peripheral
support -- like ATI video graphics, Dell wireless, fingerprint readers,
HDMI, Bluetooth and MP3/WMA/WMV," said Camden.
The machines, available in multiple countries, also offer the ability
to select a language during the first boot process.
"Just a few more steps toward making Linux more accessible by helping
to ensure it 'just works' right out of the box," added Camden.
According to Daniel Judd, in another Dell blog post, the PC manufacturer
in August will add the XPS M1530 and Studio 15n to the range of PCs
using Ubuntu 8.04.
"This is just in time for LinuxWorld, where we will participate in a
number of the conference sessions. That will be your chance to hear
directly about what's been accomplished over the last year and where we
see it going in 2009," he added.

You must be a stupid engineer then, because politcs and technology have been attached at the hip since the 1st dynasty in Ancient Egypt. I guess you missed that one."
