    Dell Ubuntu laptops rock

    So I just got a Dell latitude 13 with Ubuntu for my wife today. I am a Suse guy and never liked ubuntu until now. Everything was ready to go. Wireless was a matter of click click. printer - click click. Everything just works.

    I will still stay with Suse because I like to hack my box, but for someone who wants "just works", the dell ububtu laptops delivers.

    Just my thoughts.

    NICE!
    Thanks for the headsup...I'm sure it'll come in handy for someone looking for a Linux machine supplier.

    Yes, it just goes to show how there are many in this world of computers that remain pretty much clueless when it comes to actually using computers and the operating systems that run on them.

    Glad the wife is having lots of fun with hers, geese!

    yup, it works great. My wife love it.

    The entire setup was less than 2 minutes. Just enter your password then confirm language and click next.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    That online college was that? UTC - University for the Terminally Clueless (pun intended)? She was probably thrown off by the fact that there was no Internet Explorer there...

    I was looking at Dell's web site, and I don't see a Latitude 13 anywhere. Can you give more info on how to find it?

    Edit: Never mind, I found it. I wasn't looking under the small business section.
