One small step for Dell and one giant leap for Ubuntu - Linux

Linux has been around for a while but not may computer users are aware of this open source operating system and some who do are skeptical of open source, willing to shell out major bucks for Microsoft's latest. Truth is, Linux is mostly used by developers and individuals in 3rd world countries. But I think all that is about to change!

On Sun.May.27.07 I was browsing the net and came across an article on CNet's Download.com with regards to Wubi - a windows based instillation program for Ubuntu 7.04. Wubi is in a beta phase but got raving reviews. I then whent to Ubuntu's website and saw an ad for Dell pcs with Ubuntu 7.04 pre-installed. Talk of Dell selling pcs was just that, talk! Now it's official.

I was all smiles, not because Dell was now selling systems with Ubuntu Linux but that linux was finally being acknowledged as a OS worthy to be considered as an option in the corporate market. And with the help up Wubi users can no run a dual OS pc.

I wonder what's next?!?!?
