Dell's Subnotebook To Ship With Ubuntu

Posted by timothy on from the welcome-news dept.

k33l0r writes "Dell's entry into the sub-notebook market, the Inspiron 910, will ship with Ubuntu preinstalled. This was confirmed this morning when Gizmodo published (leaked) specifications for the Inspiron 910." I hope that's not the final form of the keyboard, though -- lots of wasted space on each side.

    Dammit! I want all 101 keys on my subnotebook! And I don't care if that means that they're all 3mm x 3mm!

    I likely will not go "100%" Linux for a long long time. Most of it has to do with working in a Windows shop and, frankly, liking my games.

    Well that's clearly a non-argument.

    "sudo apt-get install pixfrogger" should satisfy any gamer's needs for a lifetime.
