Dell to introduce Ubuntu for Desktop Pc's!
Dell has announced that it would include Ubuntu as one of the options for the users to select while purchasing the notebook/desktop from the Giant itself.This news has come out two years after the initial announcement made by Dell chairman and chief executive Mr.Michael Dell while addressing the "Computer Business Review " on May 2005. This was a major step taken by the Software Giant in order to bring linux into the Desktop environment.Linux as such is an open source software ,which can be edited in any way by anyone(unlike windows) and can be redistributed legally(More info on Ubuntu and open source on Ramanujam's blog).
When a question arised on what family of linux to be used,Ubuntu V7.04 was clearly the "one".So as of May it is expected that about 130,000 system will be Preloaded with Ubuntu and 95000 with openoffice and about 70,000 promotions for Firefox browser(open source).So this new step taken by Dell is to make people aware of the advantages of the open source technology.
