ubuntu-au Digest, Vol 15, Issue 23

[Karl Bowden]

Hmm. Well my laptop bit the dust this morning. Backlight no longer works.
Anybody know of any other Australian sources of pc's and laptops preloaded
with Ubuntu?
I'm prob quite a few months from buying another laptop, dell is defiantly an
option if there available by the time I am.
