Ubuntu is pre-installed on all the laptops we stock. However due to the current manufacturers we use for the desktops, it comes as a simple DVD install. The next batch we stock will likely come as a standard pre-install. | Ubuntu is pre-installed on all the laptops we stock.

- | We used to sell a lot of products with no operating system on board, so we looked into why and found that there was a massive community for Linux systems, specifically Ubuntu. From that, we wanted to make it easier for customers, so we created a line of pre-installed models that we hoped would take off, and it did – as hardly any retailers in the UK offer Ubuntu pre-installed. | + | We used to sell a lot of products with no operating system on board, so we looked into why and found that there was a massive community for Linux systems, specifically Ubuntu.

- | Do you have a favourite flavour of Ubuntu? | + | J'ai remarqué que la plupart des PC de bureau sont livrés avec un DVD. Puis-je savoir pourquoi Ubuntu n'est pas pré-installé ? |
+ | |||
+ | Ubuntu est pré-installé sur les portables que nous stockons. Cependant, du fait des fabricants que nous utilisons actuellement pour les ordinateurs de bureau, ils arrivent avec une installation par DVD. Le prochain lot que nous stockerons arrivera probablement avec une pré-installation standard. | ||

+ | Pourquoi Ubuntu 12.04 est-il installé sur certaines machines (des portables ?) ? | ||

Personally, I prefer the standard Ubuntu package as it feels closer to a traditional OS – but with the Linux freedom, I’m a bit of newbie in the Linux world, so it helps having something that is tangible to my old OS habits. | Personally, I prefer the standard Ubuntu package as it feels closer to a traditional OS – but with the Linux freedom, I’m a bit of newbie in the Linux world, so it helps having something that is tangible to my old OS habits. | ||

It’s difficult to manage in terms of support because, currently, the pool of customers is still small (comparatively). If, like we hope, Ubuntu sales pick up across a number of lines, we’d love to add more support. | It’s difficult to manage in terms of support because, currently, the pool of customers is still small (comparatively).
