* On the Dell blog, Lionel Menchaca says that Dell has confirmed plans to offer Linux outside of the United States. More details will be released later this summer. Dell is also considering selling Linux to small business customers. The blog also details the new Inspiron machines that will have Ubuntu pre-loaded.Read more at http://direct2dell.com/one2one/archive/2007/06/27/19470.aspx * Jason Klee, at tech.blorge.com, asks if Ubuntu Linux really ready for the big time. While many think that Linux is too complex for the average user, "Dell's involvement, however, much of the learning curve has been reduced or eliminated." The Dell computers work well out of the box and users will never have to go through the installation process themselves. Vista's new design may seem impressive, but Beryl challenges those notions. Jason provides links to You``Tube and Google videos showing Beryl in action. To the original question he poses, "the answer is a resounding YES, Yes it is!" Read more at http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2007/07/06/is-ubuntu-linux-really-ready-for-the-big-time/ * Sheehan Alam describes his reasons for choosing Ubuntu over Vista. Ubuntu performs well on existing hardware and provides many applications after a new installation. The ability to batch install many applications from the repositories using a package manager is superior to downloading applications off the Internet. The lack of viruses and spyware frees up the computer since no scanning software is needed. A six month release cycle for improved features is better compared to the Microsoft timetable.
