According to foreign media reports, despite recent reports that Dell's official website has stopped selling desktop computers pre-installed with Ubuntu, Dell officially said that not only did dell not abandon the Ubuntu system, instead, it will provide consumers with more products pre-installed with the Ubuntu system.
Grekar, marketing manager for Ubuntu system publisher Canonical, said it is a rumor that Dell no longer provides hardware products pre-installed with Ubuntu. Anne Camden, Dell's PR manager, also said Dell provided more Ubuntu products instead of abandoning the Ubuntu system.
"Contrary to rumors, we launched a new Ubuntu Desktop today (July 27)," kamdan said. According to our plan a few months ago, we should have transitioned to the current ECs desktop. But we changed our plan. The Linux team believes that a more powerful Ubuntu Desktop should be launched now, so we have launched a Dell Studio XPS 7100 Desktop with pre-installed Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 operating system ."
This brand new Ubuntu Desktop comes with 3 GB dual-channel DDR3 SDRAM2 memory, 7200-to-high-speed 500 gb sata hard drive, priced at $459.99. In addition, Dell will continue to sell Mini 10 netbooks Based on Ubuntu Linux operating systems (for $299.99) and 15 inch of the remaining 15 laptops (for $579.99 ).
At the same time, kamdan said that Dell will still provide ultra-thin Vostro V13 laptops and Latitude 2100 laptops for small businesses, both of which are equipped with older versions of Ubuntu 9.04 operating systems.
"We need to respond to different needs in different regions, that is, we will not provide the same products in all regions," kamdan said. However, the rumor that Dell gave up the Ubuntu system is a real story ."
