[ Ubuntu-BD ] Dell picks Ubuntu for Linux PCs

[Omi Azad]

Dell is the most expensive brand in this planet. Some days back I wanted 
to order a Lappy and thought of Dell, but I found other companies are 
offering almost same configuration with half of the price.

We can hope cheaper lappies from Dell this time.
