In the meantime, the Ubuntu website should have a list of hardware vendors, just as it does with service partners.

Re: [ubuntu-marketing] [Bug 63192] Re: Ubuntu web site does not say where I can buy a laptop with Ubuntu
System 76 sells them preconfigured with Ubuntu as well. http:// system76.com/ I almost purchased one from them but I want something smaller than 14 inches; i.e. ultra light, under 4 lbs, 12" max but 10" would be even better for travel. (and unfortunately I need a windows path for work so I'm still looking for a machine I can dual boot rather than just Ubuntu.) I was just thinking about this type of "bug" this morning. UbuntuDemon and others on the forums were all searching for laptop recommendations. It would be nice to have a section called, "The Community Recommends. . . " with a list of a few desktop and laptop configurations that have been proven stable. Everything seems to be reversed at the moment; i.e. there's a list of bugs with certain setups but not "here's what's known to work." I found this page to have some good notebook info as well: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsOthers? highlight=%28notebook%29 Dinda On Oct 1, 2006, at 4:04 AM, Matthew East wrote: > It's very difficult to fix this bug, because such a list would have to > be maintained for the whole world.

[ubuntu-marketing] [Bug 63192] Re: Ubuntu web site does not say where I can buy a laptop with Ubuntu
'Large jobs' are exactly what effective team collaboration (given appropriate tools, like a wiki) is able to accomplish :) This doesn't have to be achieved on a world scale. In fact, I think the best approach is at the LoCo level, just as the Australian team (of which I am a member) has done. When you buy a computer, what matters most is how it is sold where you live. What Dell does in the UK has little bearing on how they do business in Australia, for example. -- Ubuntu web site does not say where I can buy a laptop with Ubuntu https://launchpad.net/bugs/63192 -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing

It's very difficult to fix this bug, because such a list would have to be maintained for the whole world. Some local community teams have made some efforts towards gathering such information (see for example the Australian team [1]), but I have the feeling that collating such information on a worldwide basis for the Ubuntu website would be a large job. It may be that the marketing team would be interested in trying to fix this bug, so I'll subscribe them to the bug report.

The terms of service would obviously be different for LUGs, and this might be attractive to the more ambitious beginners to linux, while the businesses (small or large) might be able to offer 1) a pre-installed ubuntu on a no-os laptop or desktop machine 2) a pre-install ubuntu on a dual boot machine, new or customer's current machine 3) positive comments towards a local LUG installer champions knowing that once the install is completed, the client might often return for regular hands on detail paid support, if the general LUG contact was a bit inconvenient (for non tech users) Something like this approach would begin to make ubuntu a real and ongoing option to the mass of PC users who would never dream of installing an OS by themselves, and would feel very out of depth with the usual LUG contact. There is a chicken and egg situation here. As the leading (distrowatch) user friendly linux OS ubuntu would help to narrow the focus for a newcomer with ambition to loose windows, but no more technical desire or ability than they used when purchasing windows originally. I believe that a few people, such as myself, would be very happy to act as a volunteer resource installer on a non professional basis, when I am available. When I am not, others may be also available. -- alan c -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
