| Dell screwed up. No wait...they didn't screw anything up. They fully intended 
| to do what they did. Now tell me they are not under the thumb of Microsoft. 
| Why was this statement necessary? Let the customer decide. So tell me Dell is 
| a friend of Linux or that they are not complete quislings for the Redmond 
| Empire. Oh please...I do so want to hear you tell me this. It will be an 
| Academy Award performance. It will have to be to explain away this.

Dell Launches Consumer Advertising for Ubuntu Linux PCs

,----[ Quote ]
| It’s one small step for Dell and consumer Linux — and one giant leap for
| Canonical’s Ubuntu Linux efforts. Specifically, Dell is spending advertising
| dollars to promote PCs with Ubuntu Linux preinstalled. The move has
| significant implications for the business world as well. Here’s why.
|
| First, some details about the advertisement. Many many U.S. newspapers on
| Sunday, October 12, included a multi-page Dell flier. Among the many products
| advertised was the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, a low-cost sub-notebook designed for
| email and Web browsing.
