Which Linux will Dell offer?
I've been following the story of Dell preparing to sell Linux on its business and consumer computer lines so closely that if we were cars and they came to a sudden stop, I'd crash into them. Despite that, I still don't know what Linux, or Linuxes, they'll choose.
Darn it.
Here, for what it's worth, are my best guesses on what Dell will be doing with its pre-installed desktop Linux plans.
First, it is going to be soon. Really soon. I expect the announcement before the end of April. After all, Dell began running Dell Linux desktop ads in late March.

I for one...
... would be completely surprised if they offer Ubuntu as their distro as choice. It would just be... so unexpected.
re: I for one...
I don't know, I was thinking Novell or openSUSE until that whole Michael Dell Ubuntu thing hit the fan. I wouldn't be surprised to see it now. Ubuntu does offer support too. Naw, I wouldn't be surprised.

i would be disappointed.

I think Dell/Ubuntu is a perfect match. Both cater to the mentally challenged crowd so I say "up the voltage".
Besides, with Dell's number one support technique being "do you have the factory restore disk handy" does it really matter what Linux flavor they pick?
