According to a new DigiTimes report, the Canonical distribution of Ubuntu Light will begin shipping with new Dell netbooks within the month.
Dell's optimized netbook running Ubuntu 10.10 is said to be able to boot in 7 seconds flat.
The computer giant is currently the top seller of PCs with Ubuntu, beating out all other major manufacturers.
As pictured, Ubuntu Light uses a "Unity" interface giving quick access to Web browsing, music, games, chat, multimedia, and productivity applications.
The operating system has an integrated music store giving users a chance to download music and stream it to their Android or iOS device.
Better yet, any netbook featuring the operating system will retail for cheaper than a Windows counterpart due to lack of licensing payments.
