Great news! Dell today has officially announced that it is offering Ubuntu as its choice of Linux on select desktops and laptops! :guitar: To most of us who have heard of Michael Dell using Ubuntu on his personal computer, that comes as no surprise. :) There is a news frenzy on Ubuntu planet, and this news is certainly the "surprise" that Mark Shuttleworth had promised us for the end of April. Here is a link to an interview of Mark, where he talks about the partnership of Canonical and Dell, and the growing awareness among regular users of Linux and Ubuntu in particular:

The forum gods are looking down on you in disgust. You must do at least 15 custom kernel compiles to atone for your sins.
