Can only say +1 to the live cd. It's invaluable for me at the moment
till I can fix my windows pc.
Unfortunately I don't think I can help, although there is something in
that book about scrambled screens. Try looking in the index for it.

Dell are also paid, as all OEMs are, to bundle crapware with windows
installations. Trial versions of Symantec, etc. This cuts the cost of XP
to nothing or often less than nothing.

You'd need to check with the OEM team at Canonical about that. I
suspect the answer is yes, assuming the store is selling machines in
the same way that Dell is.

Ah right. Makes more sense now.
Would a small independent store (like I've been asking about) need to
pay that as well?
I think I remember hearing about something like this a while back on
the list.

They don't. It doesn't cost Dell much as I understand it, but they do
pay for Ubuntu.

How can they charge more? They get the thing for free! Well, we
presume they do... I guess it's paying for training and support etc.
If so that isn't so bad

Great, dell are selling their Inspiron Mini 10v preloaded with Ubuntu
8.04. The base system with a 8GB SSD is priced at 199 pounds.
You can even upgrade the spec to be the same as the XP version, i.e.
with a 160GB hard drive. The problem is with that upgrade the Ubuntu
machine costs 258 pounds whi
