Welcome holihue, nice to have you here.

Many of us came over from the Ubuntu forums, so you'll find a lot of linux users.

I have one of the new Dell Ubuntu machines, an Inspiron Desktop 530 N.

Here's the specs:

PROCESSOR - Intel®Pentium® dual-core processor E2140 (1MB L2,1.60GHz,800 FSB)

OPERATING SYSTEM - Ubuntu Desktop Edition version 7.04

MONITOR - 17 inch ViewSonic VA1703wb LCD Monitor

MEMORY - 1GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz- 2DIMMs

HARD DRIVE - 160GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™

OPTICAL DRIVE - 48X CD-RW/ DVD Combo Drive

VIDEO CARD - 128MB NVIDIA GeForce 8300GS

SOUND CARD Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio

KEYBOARD & MOUSE - Dell USB Keyboard and Dell Optical USB Mouse

I use all open source programs, so it's Firefox, Thunderbird, and OOo, for my primary needs. Any other miscellaneous programs I use, come from the repositories.

And finally, I use Bose earphones, so no desktop speakers.

Edit:

By the way, this is the standard hardware set-up from Dell on this model. The only thing I changed was the amount of RAM, from 512 meg to 1 gig.
