Another Reason to Purchase Dell Machines: Ubuntu on Dell
I love my aging IBM ThinkPad R52. But you know, once you’ve got it, you’re still looking out for new hardware.
Well looks like Dell has given us another reason to pick up their machines.
Everyones picked it up, so you’ve probably heard it already. Dell is pre-loading their machines with Ubuntu. (The latest Feisty Fawn if you’re curious).
Awesome.
What does this mean? Initially it means more FOSS computers running without restricted drivers. Well if Dell decides to bring this to Malaysia, especially with their investment for a support center in Cyberjaya, Ubuntu business may be picking up in Malaysia. Especially in terms of support. If there is a marketing push for it locally, we have to work with them.
So yes Dell Malaysia, that is an open invitation.
So to the FOSS Community, things are picking up. What are you going to do?
For Starters
Well for starters, you can ensure that you are professional skilled in supporting Linux. That’s right guys, how about taking Linux Professional Institute (LPI) Certification Examinations.
If there is interests, than I hope we can also introduce the Ubuntu Certified Professional.
