> Dell to use Ubuntu on Linux PCs
Bookmark topic
Computer maker Dell has chosen Ubuntu as the operating system for its Linux-range of desktop computers.
Fans of Linux hope that the move will persuade more mainstream PC users to abandon Microsoft Windows and opt for the open-source operating system.
London-based firm Canonical, the lead sponsor of the Ubuntu project, will ensure the software works on Dell PCs.
Ubuntu includes software like office programs, e-mail, a browser, instant messaging software and a media player.
Michael Dell, the founder, chairman and chief executive of Dell, is himself an Ubuntu user. He has the operating system installed on a high-end Dell Precision M90 laptop he uses at home.
