Recently (on the 4th of September), Inside the box, a Lenovo blog, announced that they are planning to ship with a Linux Distro as the default OS installed on their system. In true Open Source fashion, they decided to run a poll so that people can vote for which Distro they would like to see shipping on a Lenovo. The results are astounding! At the moment Ubuntu is by far the distro of choice!
They have 5883 votes with Debian as a close second on 1089 results.
You have to admit, Ubuntu being a South African produce, it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside when something like this happens!
Hop on over to Inside the box and cast your vote!

Yeah IBM has always been a good choice for a Linux laptop. Ubuntu is an especially good choice – I am really impressed with (almost) everything running out-of-the-box on my Fujitsu Siemens. Looking forward to seeing these laptops on the shelves!!
