[Novalug] Dell chooses Ubunto

[Mike Shade]

Well,

The shift is mainly because of their IdeaStorm feedback -- and 
overwhelming requests for Ubuntu as a preinstalled option.  It also 
tends to be a much more polished, up to date and friendly distro than 
RHEL on the desktop.  It just happens to be more suited for the class of 
hardware they'll be pushing it on.

I find it quite exciting!  How's this for an image?
