Finally: Dell Launches Consumer Ads for Ubuntu Linux PCs

[ Thanks to The VAR Guy for this link. ]

"First, some details about the advertisement. Many many U.S. newspapers on Sunday, October 12, included a multi-page Dell flier. Among the many products advertised was the Dell Inspiron Mini 9, a low-cost sub-notebook designed for email and Web browsing.

"You may recall that the Mini 9 is available with either Ubuntu Linux 8.04 or Microsoft Windows Vista. But this particular advertisement made no mention of the Windows option. Instead, Ubuntu Vista was prominently mentioned and had the spotlight to itself."
