Ubuntu OEM Installation
An OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) installation mode is now available for Ubuntu 5.10. This will help OEMs (lke HP, Dell or even your local computer store) to pre-install Ubuntu on a computer and sell it to you. Once you buy the computer, the first time you power up, you will be asked to set your time zone, create a new user and basically customize the computer for your use. With the OEM installation mode, it is hoped that more and more vendors will pre-install Ubuntu on the computers they sell.
