Dell announced that it is going to offer Ubuntu (linux based operating system) on some of its models. Some months back Dell had conducted a survey in which one question was which OS do people want Dell to offer on their computers and the majority of people voted for Linux over Windows. At that time Dell didn't commit to providing computers with pre-installed linux based OS but now it has come up with this proposition. This is going to be a major step in moving to the world outside of windows.
