Web Browser In Action (Dell's version of Firefox)
Google has a deal with Mozilla to be the default search engine for Firefox, since Dell doesn't see a dime of that money the decided to sell that privilege to Yahoo! In order to do so they cannot use the Firefox logo or name. Dell makes this worse by installing a Yahoo! toolbar onto their Web Browser. Firefox defiantly doesn't need a Yahoo! toolbar and it takes up way too much screen space. Thanks Dell! I bought the Dell Mini 9 with Ubuntu so I wouldn't get crapware.
I'm not a big fan of Dell Custom User Interface. It's slow and not my style. The good news is that it's easy to turn it off. You need to do is click the Ubuntu logo and select the Switch Desktop Mode entry.
The Normal Desktop
Ubuntu feels and runs much faster in this normal mode.
