Re: Dell Losing interest in Ubuntu?
Dell's interest in Linux was minimal, all the hardware I found available that would come with Ubuntu installed was all older and the machine was still priced the same as a new Windows machine.
Overall I wasn't impressed with Dell's (Canada) product offerings. Any statement that there wasn't a market could be easily countered with "So you are saying the market for 1 year old machines priced as 1 month old ones was low?"
I bought system 76 because it was Ubuntu with decent hardware offering. The basic ubuntu install isn't ugly imo (running Kubuntu atm though) but to each their own.
If Dell was serious about it in North America at all, you'd have seen some more competitive hardware made available.
