Dell to offer Ubuntu 7.04 on selected desk/laptops

[Huston]

Commercialized has nothing to do with free.....  commercialized has to do with profit.   I don't see them selling Ubuntu for a profit.   Redhat, and Suse I do.  Most of the time when big business takes over something free, it becomes commercialized....sold for profit....

    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

    possibility?


  I am not sure what you mean by this question.

  Ubuntu is already commercialized, but it is still a free distro.  From day one, Canonical has offered businesses professional support for a fee.  Just like RedHat charges for professional support. 

  What does being commercialized have to do with being free (as in beer and speech)?
