[ale] Dell offers Ubuntu 8.04 on new hardware

[Jeff Lightner]

Dell started offering Ubuntu last year.  It follows that they would move
to a later version when it became available.

They also offer RHEL on the PowerEdge lines for commercial use and have
for several years.

More importantly the horror that was Dell Linux support 3 years ago
seems to have been replaced by people that actually know what Linux is.
Back then it seemed like they had tried to force train Windoze admins to
be Linux admins and in addition to being bad at it they were surly about
it.
