shows that dell is thinking about supporting Ubuntu more, but is not quite ready to.

Ubuntu's okay. Didn't have video drivers for my 1280x800 resolution back when I was using it, though...

Dual booting didn't work too well, though; like 90% of the times I ran Windows, it would delete the boot-loader and I'd have to reinstall GRUB. But that wasn't a Dell, that was a Compaq Presario...

At first glance at the title, I though it a fan-made BP commercial...

Haha no. Ubuntu the OS existed well before Ubuntu the faction, and before it was an OS it was something. Of course, I only knew about it through the OS, and I still don't quite know what it means. I even looked it up once.

Well, community is one aspect of Ubuntu. Ubuntu philosophy is also the belief that humanity is fundamentally "good" at its core (see Rén as the Oriental equivalent).

I'm just trying to explain what the word means in simplest terms, if you'd prefer I could say the typical non-answer: "humanity towards humans".

I can see why they didn't show the commercial aside from Microsoft meddling. It's just not very good.
