On Dell's Direct2Dell site, Lionel Menchaca, Dell's digital media
manager, said, "Wanted to be clear that Dell does have plans to offer
Linux to more consumers in additional locations outside the United
States. More details to come later this summer. We will also offer
Ubuntu to small business customers in the future. As soon as we have
more details to share, I'll blog about both topics here."
Sources close to Dell indicate that the company will be announcing
international sales of Ubuntu Linux consumer systems at LinuxWorld,
which will be held Aug. 6-9 at San Francisco's Moscone Center.

It is also likely that Dell will announce exactly how it will be
offering SMBs (small to midsize businesses) Ubuntu desktop Linux
systems. It is also possible that Dell will announce new Ubuntu
Linux-powered PCs for SMBs at the show.
