I had to google Dell's site to find any page where they sold an Ubuntu machine! Then when I got there, they were sadly underpowered machines, running 2-year old hardware, yet they were charging full boar prices for it. TO HELL WITH THAT. I didn't migrate to Linux just to get ripped off or shortchanged by another corporation. Built my own box with the latest greatest using Linux-available drivers as my guide, saved about $500 and I haven't had a hiccup since. (Running Fedora 10 for now. Until Ubuntu does something noticeable, I've moved on.) This is frustrating and I griped to Dell about it a year ago when I wanted to buy one gratis.
