There is a reason for that! right now dell are only selling the mini 10
netbook which is a terrible terrible machine that won't work well on
ubuntu because of the nasty gpu (closed source drivers, only works with
old kernels). the last word i heard on it was that dell are spinning up
a new line of netbooks or something and ubuntu will be offered on that
