Yup, I also read the news and what it seems like a slow migration towards Unix based operating systems, especially when such a big company like Dell is supporting Ubuntu. Why in the world they would like to spend so much money on purchasing windows if a quality product like Ubuntu is available free. Whatever it is, I am very much pleased with the news. As for the support, it is not world- class and widespread yet, but it is expected to grow coz incorporation of Ubuntu will certainly decrease costs, raise sales and thus boost support. As of suiting, I don`t know much about Ubuntu on Dell. However, on my HP Laptop, it is running quite fine.

I have Windows and Ubuntu running on my old Dell laptop and it works great. I agree it would be nice if computer companies offered something other than Windows.
