Dell to offer Ubuntu 7.04 on selected desk/laptops

I have a question with this.  If dell is going to offer Kubuntu, etc on
laptops, does this mean there is a possibility that Kubuntu could become
commercialized and not a free distro?  If it is successful, could this be a
possibility?

I agree.  I never install flashplayer, and in the odd case that I really
need it I go to the Windows desktop.  It can't be important.
