Ubuntu-Dell is selling well. Will HP Follow Dell With Ubuntu Linux PCs?

http://software.seekingalpha.com

Initially, I was skeptical about Dell's decision to sell selected consumer PCs with Ubuntu Linux pre-installed.

Ubuntu'd, you're getting a Dell

The story of a new Dell laptop.
The finale is the best part: "Since then, I've had only one opportunity to use her laptop. I used it to check my email. It was fast, and beautiful, and hers. That's right, I had to give it right back to her. My little one has grown up. As much as it hurts, Linux no longer needs me to support non-geek users."
