Yeah, you avoid unity then (or can).  :)

Just the fact that they have it working means whatever linux will probably still run across the vostro line whether it ships with or not. Post circa 2008 I don't think they bother with separate hardware packages, rather just push support upstream into source, or build the bios support not to suck (ahem, wish hp would do as they do) so should be good to go.

My wife runs an i3 on her system, plenty good for most things I think, though the 2gb of ram is a bit sparse. You can guy 8gb of ram for 20 bucks these days.

    Guess Dell is still selling Ubuntu laptops, though finding them on
    their site tends to be a challenge.  $431 on sale - not bad for a
    portable little 13.3" box with ubuntu 11.04 installed.  Not exactly
    a powerhouse, but what do you want for 430 bucks new?
