In the past several days, rumors have surfaced that Dell would not be offering extended warranty and CompleteCare hardware support options for its Ubuntu Linux desktop and laptops. And indeed, if you went to Dell's Ubuntu PC buying site, you'd find those options missing.

When asked about this matter, a Dell spokesperson told DesktopLinux.com that, "Due to an ordering system glitch during the weekend, we inadvertently removed extended warranty and CompleteCare options from our 'configurator'. W e're working to get the issue resolved as quickly as possible and those options will be reinstated this afternoon [June 5].
