[LUNI] FW: [Chicago] can I buy a ubuntu dell from a local store?

[Trev Peterson]

Not sure if you can buy the Dells preloaded with Linux anywhere other
than Dell.

That said, I've loaded Ubuntu Gusty on the following with great success:

Vostro 1500
Intel X3100
Intel 4965 or Intel 3945 Wireless
Integrated Webcam

If you can find this config in the stores you could load Ubuntu on the
machines.

You will need to load a package legacy-sound or something similar to get
the audio working but other than that this config works exceptionally
well (including hibernate).  HTH,
