Dell to offer Ubuntu 7.04 on selected desk/laptops

[Huston]

Marriam-webster sees it differently....  If he makes money in others ways 
that is different, but commercializing something is to do it for profit.... 
I just liked the distro and don't want to see it going the way of some of 
the other distros that I have liked..  That was really all my question was 
trying to dig at.
