Dell Linux Systems Now Shipping With Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron

Post by froggyboy604 »

Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron has been out since April, but Dell wanted to do a whole bunch of testing and add support for stuff like fingerprint readers, Bluetooth, HDMI and MP3/WMA/WMV out of the box before rolling it out on their Linux systems. It's shipping on 'em as of this second. [Dell via Direct2Dell]

Good point, They will install a bloated version of Ubuntu, but the bloatware will be harder for new linux users to uninstall since installing and uninstalling software in linux is different compared to windows.
