The day that many thought would never come, and the day that some hoped would come, and the day that still may never happen, may come soon if the rumors come true of Dell beginning to ship their computer systems pre-loaded with the opensource Ubuntu Linux operating system. While Dell wouldn't be the first to offer a Linux-based OS pre-loaded on OEM consumer computers, they will be the first major manufacturer to do so. Offering a choice between Windows Vista and Ubuntu or other Linux flavor may provide the right kind of competition needed to help the PC market really move forward in usability, interoperability, and flexibility. If you don't want to wait for Dell you can head over to Ubuntu's website and grab a copy for free to install on your PC. (Save yourself some grief by trying it in a virtual machine first; recommended for advanced users.)
