Hi Shamil: The only problem I see is with the hardware. Those Ultra books whether MAC or in this case Dell are well over priced. I guess small, thin and light has a real cost. There are a number of small Linux vendors out there but they tend to be very regionalized: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/the-top-five-linux-desktop-vendors/931 3 This venture is the first time that a mainstream vendor has been selling Linux based desktop/laptop products, not as an option, but as a default OS.
