Dell says it will be on select systems. It sounds to me like this will be a pilot program. They will see how well DesktopLinux(TM) sells before committing long-term to Linux and potentially offering it on a broad range of systems, or as a standard option alternative to MS Windows. I would really like for this to work out and I think it has a chance... provided Dell test the market by pre-installing linux on hardware people want and not some bargain-basement system that is overpriced or something equally as unattractive.
