Dell to choose Ubuntu - probably?
A few weeks ago, we covered Dell’s decision to sell computers preloaded with Linux directly to consumers. Dell came to this decision after allowing their customers to submit requests for new products. An overwhelming majority of consumers requesting preloaded Linux was enough to push Dell over the edge. Dell has been taking the last four weeks to decide which Linux distribution to preload. While Dell has not officially publicized their decision, DesktopLinux believes that Dell will be going with Ubuntu.
Analysis — Officially, Dell Inc. hasn’t said a word yet about which Linux it will be preloading on its desktops and laptops. Several sources within Dell, however, have told DesktopLinux.com that Dell’s desktop Linux pick is going to be Ubuntu.
While unable to confirm this through official Dell channels, we have heard the same story now from several internal Dell sources. They tell us that the Austin, Texas, computer giant will be preinstalling the newly released Ubuntu 7.04. These systems will be released in late May 2007.
