Dell are currently selling Ubuntu on selected systems in the USA, but have stated that they are investigating expanding this programme to other countries, probably to some in Europe. You should be able to replicate a Dell Ubuntu system by selecting the same model and choosing the same options. Dell offer fewer hardware choices with their Ubuntu models for compatibility and testing reasons, so be careful with your choices. I would suggest that you go the the Dell USA site and completely configure a machine with Ubuntu. Then go to Dell Australia and duplicate those choices exactly. -- "The last thing a political party gives up is its vocabulary." - Alexis de Tocqueville
