I have been asked by lot of people about machine with Pre-Installed Ubuntu. So, Since last six month, i am finding Pre-installed Ubuntu on Desktops, Netbooks and Laptops in consumer / retail market (Say Malls / On-line / Off-line Hardware Shops ). I was looking for OEM Supplied Pre-Installed Ubuntu and their advertisement in Local Newspaper / Demo Machine @ Shops / On-line Shops, etc…. I have also documented few in past and blogged them, like Desktop with Pre-installed Ubuntu and Netbook with Pre-installed Ubuntu.

Now, time for laptop. Dell Vostro 1015 is coming with Pre-installed Ubuntu and it’s also advertise it [1] in Local News paper, check this one from Divya Bhasker, Gujarat. Here is PDF version of it.
