Dell has finally chosen a Linux distribution to offer on its desktop and laptop machines. Following news that Michael Dell was running Ubuntu on his personal laptop, the company has followed suit and from late May Dell machines will ship with Ubuntu 7.04 as an option.

There’s no official word from Dell, but several sources within the box-shifter have been talking to desktoplinux.com.

Very cool, its not yet official, but bringin Ubuntu to the desktop could increase the Linux userbase further, be interesting to see  (if this is the case) how well the Linux desktops sell, will people use it because it’s cheaper or because they want an alternative to Vista?

As a platform Ubuntu does look very promising, and it comes with office type applications built in which means it is a real alternative, www.ubuntu.com, check it out.
