I am guessing that this Dell nonsense is made because of the growing netbook market and Dell wants a piece of the action. I don't like the specs to be honest i find it too be just old parts put together and putting Linux on just makes sure it works with the old hardware.
No thanks in my book.

Then don't buy the Celeron/Linux configuration; buy the Core 2/Windows one. If not then buy an overrated MacAir.
