Dell is continuing to make progress on the Linux front and is warming to the hearts of Linux users.

Back in December 2007, the computer manufacturer announced the addition of Ubuntu 7.10 (a.k.a Gutsy Gibbon) to the Dell Consumer Linux line-up. With it came the added ability to legally play DVDs.

Today, Dell further extended its Ubuntu offering by adding its Inspiron 1525 notebook to the ever-growing list of Dell systems that are available pre-loaded with the Linux operating system.

Inspiron 1520 - now available with Ubuntu

Customers in the UK, France, Spain, and Germany can order an Ubuntu-powered Inspiron 1525 today and prices start from Ā£299. US customers however will have to wait another month or so.

Can't hurt.

I thought the real news in that piece, was the US consumer will have to wait, while we already have the option.
