Nah I'll be installing the Vista on it.
(just kidding)
I'll try it and see if I can live with it or not. Then depending on if I like it or not I might put another distro on and dual boot or just wipe it. Im more of a KDE guy so I have to do some research to see what distro's might suit me best again. I might just stick with what I know though- Sabayon.

I'd love to hear a review from anyone who purchases one of these machines on the show. Let us know how it goes and we'll put you on.

Sure thing, I need to get back on 'the scene' anyways. I will probably publish something on my stagnating blog too.

That coupon you posted did me in, and I placed an order today. As for a review, I don't even really do anything that in-depth, so I don't know if I'll be much of a reviewer. Besides, the estimated ship date is 7/23, so you'll have to wait quite a while before I even get the machine.
Here are the specs:
- Inspiron 1420
Intel Core 2 Duo T7300, 2.0GHz, 800Mhz, 4M L2 Cache
Premium Deep Rich Red with Soft Touch LCD back color
2GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2 Dimm
14.1 inch Wide Screen WXGA+ TL LCD
Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3000
120G 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Ubuntu Edition version 7.04
Integrated 10/100 Network Card and Modem
8X DVD+/-RW Dual Layer Drive
Integrated High Definition Audio 2.0
Intel 3945 WLAN (802.11a/g) Mini Card
85 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery
Vim is beautiful
