Dell has announced that more of their systems will be available with Linux pre-installed: "It's exciting to see the IdeaStorm community's interest in open source solutions like Linux and OpenOffice. We are listening, and as a result, we are working with Novell to certify our corporate client products for Linux, including our OptiPlex desktops, Latitude notebooks and Dell Precision workstations. This is another step towards ensuring that our customers have a good experience with Linux on our systems." In addition: " Dell recognizes our customers' desire to have unlimited control over the software on their PC. In fact, today XPS customers can opt-out of almost all preinstalled software. We will be expanding this effort in the coming months."

Dell needs to install eg. (REDHAT RHEL4 WS, SLED, UBUNTU) they would find they would sell quite a few machines pre-configured and loaded going this route.
I find it amazing how they still leave this a hole in the wall area of their website.
And lastly Marketing advertise this option make it known to the customer...
Linux was a buzzword now it has become a Server OS taking away from Unix marketshare. Let the desktop battle ground ignite create some noise or just change period!
