Hi,
I've not seen anybody else mention this here and while my opinion of Dell
kit is well established, I think it is still Linux news worth mentioning:
Dell has started selling selected UK computers with Ubuntu Desktop
Edition instead of Windows, just like it's been doing in the US for the
last few months.

Also of note from the article is this snippet about Ubuntu support from
Canonical:
If you'd rather play safe, you can get a service upgrade from Canonical,
the company behind Ubuntu. It offers 30-day 'get started', one-year
'basic', and one-year 'standard' software support for 40, 80 and 170
respectively.
There is also mention of a Dell Linux forum which might be of interest to
Dell owners who already run Linux on their machines:
