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.

    Ubuntu can run on a spiral ring notebook? It would make more sense to install it on a laptop. If it is pre-installed, that would mean that it is NOT installed. Pre means before (not 'in advance'). As in... not yet. Pre Civil War means before the Civil War, not Civil War already in progress. Pre- is for events... not verbs. A machine with no operating system installed at all would be "pre"-installed. A "pre"-heated oven would be room temperature.

    Marketing and MBA speak is killing the English language faster than a failing education system and buggy spell check programs.

    Well the Atom platform is pretty proven for OSX - here it is running on my MSI Wind sub-note. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3CNIO4ZLYE
