Following weeks of anticipation, open source software fans can now buy three Dell computers preloaded with Linux. The machines -- the XPS 410n and Dimension E520n desktops, and the Inspiron E1505n notebook -- have factory-installed Ubuntu 7.04 Linux operating systems. Although the move is expected to lure some Linux enthusiasts into the company's fold, it has likely alienated a big segment of the open source community who might feel jilted by Dell.
