Dell Inspiron 1525 gets Ubuntu

If you run the sort of IT department that likes to deploy Ubuntu machines to end users, you'll likely be happy to hear that Dell is expanding their pre-loaded Ubuntu program this week with a new laptop. The low-end Inspiron 1525 notebook is now available pre-loaded with Ubuntu 7.10 (aka "Gutsy Gibbon") and DVD-playback to boot. Available now in Europe (the U.K., France, Spain and Germany) and later in the month in the U.S.
