Just for Fun: Dell uses Ubuntu?

We're all worried about what's on Madonna's iPod, but what's really interesting is knowing what's on Michael Dell's laptop. Ubuntu? Seriously?

Check it out...

I've played with the Breezy Badger version of Ubuntu, but it was unnecessarily slow. I haven't had the time yet to update to the Feisty Fawn version (aren't the names cute?) that Dell uses. Honestly, the freeware Linux clone that I've liked the most so far was Puppy Linux, which consumes about 20M of disk space rather than Ubuntu's multiple-hundred MB's.

Have you played with the Fawn yet? How feisty is she?
