Ubuntu senior support engineer Fabian Rodriguez wrote, “Many people have been involved in this and I can only say I am excited to be a tiny small part of it: Ubuntu will be officially supported on Dell computers. Any other details will come on www.ubuntu.com, check it for the official press release

Although nothing has been formally announced, this deal seems finalized. Finally, this will allow you to buy a PC and run the operating system of your choice (with a little hackery you can use the MacOS too) without paying the dreaded “Windows Tax”.

    Wow.
    Now that’s some pretty big news.
    I woudl rather pay for Ubuntu on my parents’ PCs than for windows. They don’t play games adn stuff. THey just check emails and browse the web.
    This would mean so much more security to their machines..
    I’ll make sure our next machine comes from them with Ubuntu installed
