Penguin on an Inspiron: a review of the Dell Inspiron 1420n with Ubuntu
,----[ Quote ]
| The Dell Inspiron Notebook 1420n with Ubuntu 7.04 scores 7 out 10, but will
| easily score an 8 when Dell begins shipping units with the next version of
| Ubuntu. At this present time, I highly recommend it for Linux enthusiasts,
| but regular users should wait for 7.10.

| deliver Ubuntu Linux on select consumer systems in select markets. We
| recently announced that we'll be supporting SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop on
| systems in China.
