[Eug-lug] Linux hits the mainstream (Dell to offer Ubuntu)

[Mr O]

Short answer: No

A couple weeks ago I installed Sabayon on a machine and it
actually finished in around an hour I think. Then I rebooted as
per the instructions and watched it just hang. A few days later
I took Ubuntu 7.04 and had it installed in 20 minutes.

I see no reason Dell can't preload at least Java and Flash. They
aren't open source but they aren't 'illegal' either. Restricted
drivers are available from a menu. DVD playback on the other
hand...

That be all,
Mr O.
