"Dell has stopped selling consumer PCs preloaded with Ubuntu from its
website, and doesn't know when they're coming back. A search for
Ubuntu on the Dell UK website returns only one laptop =97 the Dell
Latitude 2100 from the company's business range. Dell insists that
it's continuing to sell Ubuntu systems, but only over the phone, and
has no idea when =97 or even if =97 the Ubuntu PCs will return online.
'We've recently made an effort to simplify our offerings online, by
focusing on our most popular bundles and configuration options, based
on customer feedback for reduced complexity and a simple, easy
purchase experience,' Dell told PC Pro. 'We're also making some
changes to our Ubuntu pages, and as a result, they are currently
available through our phone-based sales only.' The move comes after
Dell put a page on its website advising customers only to go for
Ubuntu if they were interested in open-source programming."
