According to foreign media reports, Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu, told the outside that from today on, dell customers in the United States will be able to order computers with their first pre-installed Linux-based operating system Ubuntu.

Shuttleworth said that Dell originally created a website dedicated to receiving feedback from customers. The most frequently asked question was about the Ubuntu operating system.

"Michael Dell is using Ubuntu himself. He is very interested in what functions this next-generation operating system can actually accomplish ." Shuttleworth.

Dell also plans to announce details about the customer support for purchasing Ubuntu, which will be provided by Canonical.

Shuttleworth said that he hoped that this cooperation with Dell would allow Ubuntu and all Linux-based desktop operating systems to achieve the same achievements as the server market, currently, Linux accounts for nearly 30% of the server market.
　　
He said, "My biggest hope is that Dell can actually sell enough computer hardware, because what we really need is users behind the Dell Computer, let them realize that Linux is an operating system that can be considered, just as it is worth choosing in the server field."

In Shuttleworth's view, most of the work that currently supports graphics cards, sound cards, or cameras in Desktop linux systems is done by volunteers from the open-source community. This was also the case in the server market, but now more and more companies are doing this on their own.

When asked if he sees Ubuntu as a reliable option for Windows, Shuttleworth says yes, but for some specific types of users, using Windows or Mac may be easier to do something.

"If we can make powerful, high-quality tools and provide them to everyone for free, what will happen to this market ?" He said with meditation.

He is approaching his dream with Dell's help.
　　
"For Linux, this is a great leap, not just for Ubuntu ." Said the open source who once traveled in space.
