OK, as some of you have pointed out its not all about the price but....
I've just checked the dell website again and you can now spec the Ubuntu
version with the 160GB for the same price as the 140GB disk making the
Ubuntu version just over £10 cheaper than the XP one of the same spec.
Also, both versions have been reduced by £20 pounds.
