Ubuntu has some executive mindshare at Dell
With Dell looking to introduce Linux systems, one distribution can be almost certain to make the company's short list.
That's because Dell chief executive and founder Michael Dell himself is running Ubuntu on his 4GB, Core 2 Duo laptop at home, the company disclosed on its website.
If we are to believe the site, Michael Dell owns a total of five computers. In addition to a laptop and desktop systems at home, he also uses laptop for mobile gaming, travelling and a business desktop system.
Except for the Ubuntu system, all other computers are running Windows Vista Ultimate. Still, 20 per cent desktop share would be a decent target.
