Dell to Offer Ubuntu on Desktops and Laptops

02 May, 2007, 3:10 pm IST | by Gaurav Seth | Linux

In February 2007, when Dell launched IdeaStorm, a forum for customers to contribute ideas for product offerings, they received overwhelming feedback that customers wanted Linux on desktops and notebooks.

As part of an overall effort to update their Linux program, Dell has announced a partnership with Canonical to offer Ubuntu 7.04 on select consumer desktop and notebook products in the coming weeks.

You can catch this video on Dell’s Website where Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth talks about why he started Ubuntu, Linux adoption rate trends, how previous barriers to Linux adoption for mainstream users are improving, and more.
