Dell to offer Ubuntu on its systems

Well, it's about time, frankly. Via the BBC :

Computer maker Dell has chosen Ubuntu as the operating system for its range of Linux computers for consumers.

This makes me happy for a lot of reasons. For one, it's Ubuntu, which I use all the time and on whatever systems I can and second - and probably more importantly - it means that someone is offering Ubuntu as a no-effort-to-install system to consumers, which rocks my socks off.

Damn I'm tired. Still, must get on with it, otherwise... Well, otherwise I'll not do anything I suppose. That was a bit anticlimactic. 2009-01-07 07:10:21

About

Graham Binns is a writer, photographer, musician and software developer from Lancaster, England, with far too much hair, a penchant for odd t-shirts and a magnificent hat. He has been making things up for as long as he can remember and has been making code work for long enough to make a living from it.

He has written one novel, which is in the process of composting, and is working remembering how to write before embarking on a second. In the meantime, he photographs things, since it's easier not to have to make the world up in his head all of the time.
