Installing Ubuntu
I just bought a a Dell Inspiron 530 with Vista pre-installed. I would like to install Ubuntu. Is there anyway to download the version of Ubuntu that Dell uses for the Ubuntu version of my PC.
Ubuntu 8.04 should be released in a couple of days.

So it might be best to download a non Dell version of Ubuntu.

I do no know exactly, however, you may like to be aware of the main ubuntu forums which include a specific dell subgroup.

The main ubuntu forums may be useful too.
However, I believe there are some hardware differences between the vista and the pre installed ubuntu machines.
I believe that the best course of action would be to use a standard ubuntu live CD and check what works, and take it from there. The dell support site/s may be useful but you might need som eguidance from the ubuntu forums I would guess.
good luck
