[ale] Dell offers Ubuntu 8.04 on new hardware

[Dow_Hurst]

I'm thinking about a new laptop so looked first at the Dell Ubuntu line.  Just a heads up that the M1330 is the only laptop at the moment with Nvidia graphics available.  The 1525 doesn't have that as an option.  That can change overnight as they add or mix models in the program.
