It's official, Dell will be offering the ubuntu linux OS on a few of their computers in the near future:

I'm really happy about this as I'm going to be buying a new laptop in a few months time and I was only going to be running ubuntu on it. This means that I wont have to pay for a new copy of vista which I don't want, and go through the trouble of removing it.
Also this should improve hardware support for Linux and bring it more into the public domain, which has to be a good thing.
