        Vyatta. So it is a sibling to VyOS rather than a decendent.

              That's huge, this implies that ARM servers for prime time, main stream usage are just around the corner.

                    Does this mean the #of available packages and services to use with RHEL for arm build approaches or is equal to amd64 version now?

                      Pair that with the new Qualcomm 48-core ARM procs....

                          It should mean that, yes. I'm sure things like the EPEL are not on parity.

                                  It would be nice if they just sell the machines without an OS instead. Or do they provide custom drivers specifically for Ubuntu?

                                    The upside is that it implies a high chance that other Linux drivers will also work.

                                      Not really, it's better that they do it this way. The OS is included for testing purposes. It costs nothing. It actually lowers their cost as they need to put it on at the final build stage. This is why they used to put FreeDOS on machines without a Windows license. It wasn't to be used, it was to be replaced as soon as the customer received it.

                                      With Ubuntu, it is a more robust test and, in theory, the laptop is useful right out of the gate. So this is far better than FreeDOS. And it means that they are guaranteeing drivers work with Ubuntu, if not Linux more generally, which is a huge deal and what we really care about.

                                        That's good know. I was always wondering about the FreeDOS in the list.

                                          @black3dynamite Yes they have their own custom drivers with support from Dell as ppa repos, just like the XPS Developer Edition laptops.
