The new Feisty Fawn that is Ubuntu 7.04 is set to be the version of Ubuntu that Dell is choosing to offer from late May 2007, with a Dell e-series ‘Essential’ Dimension desktop, an e-series Inspiron laptop and an XPS desktop set to be offered with the penguin. DesktopLinux reports prices will start from US $408 without a screen, with the ‘base model’ kitted out with 512Mb of RAM and a 160Gb hard drive, an AMD Sempron 3400+ processor and an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Integrated Graphics GPU. An alternative to the AMD processor may well be an Intel 2.8Ghz Celeron D processor, although it is not confirmed at this stage. Next up is a US $899 model with a 1.8Ghz Core 2 Duo processor, 1Gb of RAM, a 250Gb HD, 256Mb NVIDIA GeForce 7300LE TurboCache and a 19-inch LCD screen. The laptop to come with Linux could be one of three units which are set to range in price from US $899 to $1,149. Michael Dell is already using Ubuntu ‘Feisty Fawn’ 7.04 on his home computer, along with an assortment of software such as Open Office, Firefox and others, as seen on this page at Dell, with ongoing negotiations with Ubuntu and Mark Shuttleworth over the past few months. {moscomment}
