Dell to ship Ubuntu 7.10 on desktops and laptops

[reyfer]

Ubuntu 7.10 arrives Oct. 18, and not long after that Dell will start shipping that version of the Ubuntu Linux desktop on its laptops and desktops.

"We will offer Ubuntu 7.10 preinstalled on our systems soon," said Anne Camden of Dell corporate communications, in an e-mail interview. "For customers who are interested in updating their existing Ubuntu systems, we advise them to visit the Ubuntu 7.10 page on our wiki, which will go live [Oct. 18] after the official launch."

Now that's quick. How long after 5.10 was released (2006-02-14) did Dell ship with it?

How about after 6.10 was released (2006-10-27) or even 7.04 (2007-04-13)?

Now we need some more PC suppliers to take advantage of Ubuntu's greatness.
