2009-05-19 Thread lesl...@ozemail.com.au
Someone posted something about the above. I went looking to see what I could 
find
about it from Dell itself and found this:

Among other things, I noticed that the version of Ubuntu being offered is 8.10.

[SLUG] Dell Latitude 2100 (for school kids) with Ubuntu -> here!

2009-05-18 Thread Jeff Waugh
Dell today announced its Latitude 2100, a netbook designed specifically for
school children. It is also the first Dell product in Australia to offer the
Ubuntu operating system pre-installed.

...

The Latitude 2100, which features a rubberised exterior and an activity
light to notify teachers when a student is using the wireless network, is
the first product Dell has offered in the country featuring the alternative
operating system.
