Dell to Offer Inspirons With Linux in Europe (PC World)

[Posted August 9, 2007 by cook]

PC World notes that Dell plans to sell pre-installed Linux systems in Europe. "Following up on its Spring 07 announcement that it will ship Inspiron notebook and desktops with the Linux OS, Dell chose the LinuxWorld conference in San Francisco to add the United Kingdom, France, and Germany to its Linux stable of models. The Inspiron 1505n notebook and Inspiron 530n desktop will now both be offered with Ubuntu 7.04 Linux distribution installed at the factory."

I've been told by a UK Dell Sales Advisor that you can also buy the Inspiron 1520 and 1720 with Ubuntu (much more modern than the old 6400(1505n)) through phone only (for now, they are not available with Ubuntu via their website)
