Hi, I wanted to recommend a notebook to a friend - and what do I read on the Ubuntu homepage: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/make/Dell/laptops - "(Pre-installed only, with notes)" or even worse "(Pre-installed only)"
HELLO?!? - I mean, even if there would be a terrific increase in offered machines with Ubuntu on them (which is what Bug #1 wants), I hope we want to keep being open. Ubuntu certified must be that it works out-of-the-box (not only with the preinstalled installation) - as this is what is expected by the Windows users on Windows also (re-install must be possible with whatever CD of Windows) - so when a user buys an Ubuntu-certified machine, he/she should get one that works even after manual reinstall from any Ubuntu-x.y-CD. The Ubuntu-certified standard should not be soaked.

This is a bug, which Ubuntu is designed to fix. Non-free software is holding back innovation in the IT industry, restricting access to IT to a small part of the world's population and limiting the ability of software developers to reach their full potential, globally. This bug is widely evident in the PC industry. Steps to repeat: 1. Visit a local PC store. What happens: 2. Observe that a majority of PCs for sale have non-free software pre-installed. 3. Observe very few PCs with Ubuntu and free software pre-installed. What should happen: 1. A majority of the PCs for sale should include only free software like Ubuntu. 2. Ubuntu should be marketed in a way such that its amazing features and benefits would be apparent and known by all. 3. The system shall become more and more user friendly as time passes.
