 With no
software licensing costs associated with Linux, the base price
for each system is significantly lower than Windows systems.
Beginning at 4:00pm today, Dell
will begin shipping three new consumer systems - the XPS™ 410n
and Dimension™ E520n desktops and the Inspiron™ E1505n notebook
-- with the Ubuntu 7.04 Linux distribution factory installed.
Dell says the Linux systems are a direct result of customer
feedback.
With no software licensing costs associated with Linux, the base
price for each system is significantly lower than Windows
systems. Hardware support is available through normal Dell
support channels, along with the Basic software support on a
variety of dedicated Web sites and Linux forums.
