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.

| For the short term, I expect us to continue doing what we have been doing. 
| That means continuing to support Red Hat and SUSE on PowerEdge servers 
| worldwide, support Red Hat on our Precision Workstations worldwide, and 
| 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.
