Netbook</div>
<div><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">Ok, I've been active in Dell's Ideastorm community, which is
dominated by Linux evangelists.<br><br>Also, if you are a netbook fan, Dell
has an Inspiron Mini 9 that looks a lot like the other netbooks out there from
MSI, Acer, Asus. The big news is that they now offer Ubuntu on it as a
"primary" option, and not hidden off in a deep, dark corner in the bowels of
Dell.com, where the rest of Dell's Ubuntu offereings are hiding. <br><br>They
went further, and made the Ubuntu version $40 cheaper than the XP version
across the board. This is a huge step forward. Previously, OEMs
have been able to "give away" Windows because of all the kickbacks they get
from the crapware vendors. A windows licence might cost dell $20, but then
they get $25 from the crapware vendors to load up your shiney new PC with a
bunch of garbage you don't want or need. <br><br>I'm very happy seeing
the Ubuntu Mini 9's $40 less than equivilant XP models. If you are
looking for a netbook with Linux, and want to reward a company for doing the
right thing in supporting Linux as a primary option on main-stream computers,
please check out Dell's Mini 9<br><br><a href="http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-9?cs=19&s=dhs&ref=homepg" target="_blank">http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/laptop-inspiron-9?cs=19&s=dhs&ref=homepg</a><br>
<br>Wow,
an Ubuntu computer FEATURED on the hope page of Dell.com. What's the
