I would think based on your comments that you would atleast be happy to see that an OEM manufacturer was making availible full blown systems that can be slated as "Linux Certified".

It so happens that they come with Ubuntu however if you read the article carefully I'm sure you noticed the mention of "The mission of LinuxCertified, Inc is to help our clients benefit from significant savings of effectively using Linux and Open-Source software in their IT and development infrastructure."

As a matter of fact if you follow the links through to the actual products page the plainly states:

Certified Distributions

LC2520DC has been certified with following distributions:

Ubuntu 7.04 (Recommended)
Fedora 7
Fedora 6
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Client (feature Limitations)
CentOS 5 (feature Limitations)
Open SUSE 10.2


So whats you point?
