But i want to know the review of there systems. They are cheaper and better hardware config but how do i trust them, I am an indian they have no plans of coming to india, atleast Dell might come in near future.

(although you wont get the > pleasure that I did of formatting the Vista drive and ripping off the > sticker... :) ) If I remember correctly, the sound problems were on Intel HDA cards due to old alsa. Hence Dell backported new alsa drivers. The only proprietary part in Dell OEM installation of Ubuntu is the DVD player. Rest it is stock Ubuntu Hardy now. By the way, in case you are getting it from US, you may also want to take a look at system76 [1]. They have been providing machines with Ubuntu preloaded for long, even before Dell started doing it.

I assumed that since they sold the model with Ubuntu abroad, everything would work flawlessly out of the box with ubuntu. While this was true for most things, I remember there being some problems with sound, etc. Basically, Dell has its own release of Ubuntu with some of its proprietary drivers packaged in and it was available only as a DVD which meant a 2-week download, etc... it is nicer if you can get it from abroad with ubuntu pre-loaded, should save some bucks as well..
