Dellbuntu Effect Reaches China
Posted by Michael Larabel on March 03, 2008
This year already Dell has made several Ubuntu Linux announcements, such as shipping Ubuntu 7.10 on the Dell XPS M1330 and Inspiron 1525, but today another announcement comes off the Direct2 Dell blog. Dell is now offering Ubuntu 7.10 Linux (with DVD playback support) on its Inspiron 530 PC in China. China joins the half-dozen other countries where Dell PCs with Ubuntu pre-loaded are available and Canonical providing the technical support. Will Dellbuntu start to strike away at some of the 80%+ market-share that Red Flag Linux has in China? Two years ago Dell (and HP) were shipping Red Flag Linux Desktop in China.
