Dell's Ubuntu love-in expands to new laptops

,----[ Quote ]
| The company said in the Direct2Dell blog it spent months in development and 
| testing to provide more peripheral support on the OS. Things like ATI Video 
| Graphics, Dell Wireless, Fingerprint Readers, HDMI, Bluetooth and MP3/WMA/WMV 
| are now good to go on the systems.

Dell is serious about Ubuntu: Launches first consumer Linux PCs

,----[ Quote ]
| There is no denying that Linux recently has gained traction in the consumer 
| space and Microsoft may have to look a little more seriously at competing 
| with Linux distributions on different levels. Most recently, for example, 
| Intel has basically thrown out Windows Vista as the dominant platform for its 
| Atom Centrino MID platform, recommending and showcasing MIDs generally with 
| Ubuntu as the operating system.
