I actually like KTorrent a lot better than any torrent client on Windows. Azureus is my favorite torrent client on Windows, but KTorrent has all of the features and is pretty similar with the exception that it is a lot faster and lightweight. If KTorrent existed on Windows, I would be using it instead.

"Thats with all the stuff ubuntu has available (simple games, virus free, spyware free, fancy desktop effects, office, pdf creation, pro image editing, etc...)."How can I order my dell to be spyware free? Was there a tab for it?

What's so bad about it? I wish people would give facts before saying they hate something.

Here's an image comparison of the price if anybody cares:Dell 520n w/ Ubuntu ($729)<a class="user" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/send_derek/DellUbuntu520.png">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/send_derek/DellUbuntu520.png</a>Dell 520 w/ Windows ($809)<a class="user" href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/send_derek/DellWindows520.png">http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v203/send_derek/DellWindows520.png</a>As you can see, the specs are pretty much matched up really closely. If you were to include the abilities that Ubuntu gives you (like remote desktop and the "elegant 3D desktop experience") and try to compare to Vista, you would need to go with at least Vista Business to get these "extras". That would drive the price of the Windows Dimension 520 to $928 ($978 for Ultimate). Check it for yourself. I did my best to be as accurate as possible.

@hack124x768I don't understand where you got your figures from. Did you add a bunch of software in the customize screens?

@njswamplands:Actually... it just hit me that it was the exact same machine at the exact same price with almost double the hardware. That was a great deal you got there. Good on ya!But, I was doing it more for a straight up comparison with no coupons. That's a great deal though. And it was even cooler that you shared that coupon code with the rest of us. Thanks!

Nobody's going to probably read this, but the 1505 is a dell vista laptop wile the 1505n is a dell ubuntu laptop. See now how it makes sense?
