| The bottom line so far is that I'm very pleased with the value I g
| ot with this machine. My first evening of use has been very
| satisfying. With the dual core processor and gig of RAM it's
| very, very smooth and quick. Note that I purposefully didn't
| do anything that required the command line. It's been a good experience.

| What I love most about Ubuntu on Dell is the lack of crappy
| 3rd party software that is typically shipped with their
| computers. When I bought Dell's in the past I'd basically
| strip the entire hard drive and do a fresh Windows install
| so I wouldn't have all those extra programs on my computer
| which I'd never use. To tell you the truth Ubuntu already
| comes with too much stuff for my tastes but it's really
| easy to uninstall unwanted applications in this OS.
|
| Just remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it's likely available via
| open-source.

Review of Dell XPS 410n with Ubuntu Feisty preinstalled
,----[ Quote ]
| I received my XPS with Ubuntu today. The first thing I will say is
| that when the Fedex guy delivered it he asked if Dell was having some
| kind of liquidation sale because he has delivered more Dells today
| than ever before. He told me that he had already delivered five and
| there were eleven more on the truck. (Just throwing that out there.)

| I think Dell has done a good thing with this system. They obviously
| made an effort with resolution detection (which was going to be sore
| no matter what) and did an excellent job of keeping those crapware
| leeches off the system.
