Ubuntu Lion

Ubuntu is available pre-installed on computers from a number of different vendors, including Dell, Tesco, and System 76. Dell and Tesco have provided this option since 2007, while System 76 has done so since its inception in November 2005. Dell and now System76 customers are able to purchase 30 day, 3 month, and 1 year support for Ubuntu through Ubuntu's parent company Canonical. Dell later increased the availability of Ubuntu based computers by offering them for sale in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Canada, Spain, and Latin America. Selected Dell machines running Ubuntu 7.10 have free and legal DVD playback capabilities using LinDVD.
