Ubuntu being preloaded on certain Dell machines is certainly big news. Having witnessed Ubuntu's meteoric rise since late 2004, making waves in the media and now getting real OEM backing, I can't help but feel nostalgic.
Now let's see if that modem will work after all... :D

it's still just rumors.
Check out this support document on Dell’s website:
How do I install Ubuntu® 7.04 on my PC?
http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&l=en&s=gen&doc
actually, they said that they will still ship winmodems (incompatible with Linux) in their Linux PCs. See their blog post on GPL'd drivers...
Tristan: I just tried to go that support page and got, "The chosen document is not currently available. Please try again later."
hmmm
try this link:

Well now that News.com picked up the story, making it official, there's still 3 of us that got booted out of Planet because of this heh...
