Dell this morning gave its Vostro line a refresh made for regions where cost is a concern but still offering features that are rare almost anywhere. Dell vows a more aggressive update still for its Vostro desktops. The A100 is the PC creator's first Atom-based desktop and is targeted at the ASUS Eee Box and other systems for developing areas where cost is the most important factor. In addition to the low-cost, low-power processor, the mini-tower also comes with Ubuntu Linux as its only operating system choice; the system is Dell's first ultra-budget desktop to ship with the open-source as its exclusive platform.

I've already told Dell to FO and I wasn't joking when I said it. They won't make those Linux based machines available and they won't give you an honest answer as to why not. Last time I asked I was told it's because the computers aren't programmed for Linux, that's when I went spare.

Flame on? :)
