The OS is Tailor made for ultraportable type systems. They have been working with Intel on the project so it should run very well on the Atom Processor

Actually, if it comes with Ubuntu netbook remix and it's priced well, I may have to buy one for my mom..Jun 28, 2008 Comment Link

We have the advantage here because you don't subsidize a netbook with bloatware if you're sane ;) So if they cost the same, Dell has profit incentive to sell many more with Ubuntu than with windows.Jun 15, 2008 Comment Link

it should be offered "next" to the windows XP ones just like Asus does. Don't hide it in some "obscure" section of the site. if Dell offers the Mini-dell with ubuntu remix but hidden in the website, then i don't care for dell any longer, i will rather purchase a netbook from Asus, HP, msi, Acer, etc. then.Jun 14, 2008 Comment Link

While Dell has no official comment more information is being leaked out about the Mini or should I say "E". http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/12/dell-e-and-e-slim-revealed-taking-on-eee-and-air-in-one-fell-sw/Jun 13, 2008 Comment Link

If its under review why no tag on it? :) One of the biggest complaints on site is that we don't know Dell is looking. Perhaps when you have a meeting to discuss things you add the tags right afterward to speed up the feedback process. It doesn't look good when ideas on the front page go weeks without a status tag. Thanks for the quick response.1 2 3 4 Next
