I just read this report.

This is a good thing!

Lenovo now to offer Linux on their laptops

Yay! Now, if only I could get one. ("not in the UK, due to lack of demand.") (Well, if I had the money... :D)

The ubuntu dells are coming your way soon though.

How long until they're actually ready to be bought?

Did anyone notice that the date on this article was Aug 4, 2006?

Of course, the subsequent BBC link was reported as "last updated" on August 6 2007.

I have heard about that, but thank you for saying though as on one elce would say.

There is no artical here on LQ, but don't know why though. I am gona buy a Dell ubuntu anyway.

I don't like that cheep chiness manufature.

Am I reading it wrong, or is that report dated from a year ago?

Also, Dell has been selling servers with a couple flavors of linux for a while now.

I can only speculate on why the roll out of the SLED Laptops is so slow. In my opinion the Ubuntu Dells are somewhat overpriced. If Dell could make it worth the extra money by providing technical support of the product then it would be worth it. However, tech support is an extra not included with the price of purchase. :(
