1/3 are sold with Ubuntu on them and return rates are low.

This is really good news for Ubuntu.

And with very low return rates too!

Dell blame reports from other companies about high return rate and low Linux sales on poor choice of distro.

This combined with the recent news that Ubuntu is about to be financially self sustaining, make the future for us Ubuntu users seem very bright. :D

Plus if Ubuntu goes from just self sustaining to actually make money, and being able to advertise, then what will happen? :p

Threads merged :)

IMO - XP on netbooks just doesn't work :p

The more people there are using these things in Starbucks - people asking what they're running on....people getting up close and personal with a Linux based OS for the very first time... this is GNU/Linux going mainstream. (woot!)
