Ubuntu has some executive mindshare at Dell

With Dell looking to introduce Linux systems, one distribution can be almost certain to make the company's short list.

Dellubuntu_3 That's because Dell chief executive and founder Michael Dell himself is running Ubuntu on his 4GB, Core 2 Duo laptop at home, the company disclosed on its website.

If we are to believe the site, Michael Dell owns a total of five computers. In addition to a laptop and desktop systems at home, he also uses laptop for mobile gaming, travelling and a business desktop system.

Except for the Ubuntu system, all other computers are running Windows Vista Ultimate. Still, 20 per cent desktop share would be a decent target.
