Dell "Days of Deals" has Ubuntu notebook

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

I'm not recommending, just noting.  Promotion of products shipped with 
Linux is really rare.

They are offerning a Vostro V13 (13.3" display) notebook with Ubuntu 9.04 
for $429, $100 off the "normal" price.

This is a step away from a netbook.  The processor is a Celeron M USV 743, 
not an Atom.  It should be faster but use a bit more power.

The processor does not support VT or Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology

I find it hard to get specs for Dell stuff.  There are some here:

The thing looks pretty reasonable.
