Michael Dell Using Ubuntu Linux At Home

Posted by kdawson on from the hmmmm dept.

whoever57 sends us a link from the Dell site noting that Michael Dell is using Ubuntu Linux at home (7.04, Feisty Fawn) on a Precision M90 laptop loaded with Openoffice.org and Evolution. If one were betting on which distro Dell will eventually ship pre-installed, this factoid might be food for thought. Oh, and Micheal Dell's gaming system uses XP Media Center edition.

    Wasn't Feisty Fawn just released this week? If he's been using it, he's either been using the beta or else he just installed it, right? And if Dell were really in talks with Canonical to distribute Ubuntu 7.04 on Dell PCs, wouldn't we be hearing about it from Canonical and/or Mark Shuttleworth?

    The home theater and server can easily be combined, with the right hardware. Then get a corporate approved gaming laptop - voilà :-) - Two instead of five!

    Well he is a CEO of a rather large company. I bet he could aford it. The only thing that erks me he has so much money why does he wast it on crappy Dells he should use his money to get some good quality Macs.
