,----[ Quote ]

| considering that one third of the sold units where shipped with Ubuntu
| Netbook Remix, as Dell’s Jay Pinkert told LAPTOP Magazine about two weeks
| ago.

Dell’s 3G Smartphone Play: Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell chalks up its success with Linux to the direct sales model, where it can
| coach customers on the phone about what system may suit them best.
|
| But besides patting itself on the back for excellent customer service, Dell
| is sending a pretty clear signal to Microsoft that it intends to continue
| with Linux netbooks. Dell makes more profit on the Linux systems.

One Third of Dell Inspiron Mini 9s Sold Run Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell attributes part of the Linux growth to competitive pricing on the Ubuntu
| SKUs. “When you look at the sweet spot for this category it is price
| sensitivity, and Linux enabled us to offer a lower price entry point,” added
| Dell senior product manager John New.
