  1. Comment - Dell changes its Windows vs. Linux netbook strategy, plans new subsidized model

    (May 14, 2009 - 10:12 AM)

    I don't understand why they are going with 8.04. My father-in-law bought a netbook the other day and his requirements was: 1) write document; 2) emails; 3) printing; 4) connect to the internet using 3G.
    Ubuntu 8.10 does 3G out of the box. Why not go with that version, cause most people would use the netbook to surf the net and check emails using 3G. Btw I ended up loading 8.10 on his netbook, and he very happy with it...he is just amazed how everything just works out of the box....loaded his printer yesterday, by just plugging in the USB cable to the netbook, and Ubuntu did the rest....that is what I like about a system.
