Yesterday and today, I ‘ve spent a lot of time installing Ubuntu 9.10.

They didn’t flip flop, they just hid it. This page doesn’t indicate anything about Ubuntu when you click on of the systems except for the $349 one. Hence, if you click on the Mini 10v on that page, you do not have the option to swap out windows for Ubuntu. Hence I thought that is was no longer an option.

I’m amazed. A few weeks ago I was looking at getting a netbook from Dell, largely because we get an employee discount. Not much of a discount, but a discount. So I login again today since my daughter wants to buy one. One with Ubuntu on it, not Windows. Her choice, not mine — though if you know me, you’d know Ubuntu would be my choice as well.
