Hey Melissa. Thanks for the response. I'm currently on holiday in New Zealand, and when I called Dell and asked here.. I got a complete blank from the person on the other end of the phone as to what Ubuntu is. I might well try and call Dell when I get back to Aussie though.
I'm in no major rush. In terms of the calendar year, what is "the end of the first quarter" mean? April-ish? I checked out The Good Guys online... and I found an Acer, there's just not much detail about it. And I trust you that some have Ubuntu on ;) .. more curious about the price and specs. thanks, Andrew On 12 Jan, 21:52, Melissa Draper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Andrew G wrote: > > > Hi there.
