[ubuntu-my] Dell Malaysia Ubuntu

[ApOgEE]

Dear Donald,

FYI, the price for new laptops from Dell without OS is cheaper than the one
that come with Windows OS. It is about the price of that windows license.
So, customer can install any OS they like and not just for Ubuntu. They can
even install FreeBSD, Debian, Slackware, Fedora as they like.

But here in our company, we can give Ubuntu and copy it for free. And if
they need support, they should ask Canonical. AFAIK Dell have no rights to
provide support for Ubuntu OS. But they are so fast in providing Hardware
support. If you have any problem with Dell products (not OS or software
problem) they can come to your place and bring the spare parts for
replacement within the warranty period. For laptops and desktop, you can get
it in the next day after you report them and for server, is about 4 hour.
Dell service are 24/7 and you can count on them.
