Ok is it just me or is something going crazy with the comments?

As for the Dell preinstalling Ubuntu SWEET! I just converted my desktops from MCE to Ubuntu (with MythTV for my HTPC needs), and I am so happy! Now if only they can actually charge less then those Vista machines that would be great.

As for hardware support, well that is a dream for another day.

You just have to buy the right model then.

Dell's corporate line has some of the best support in the business - far better than Apple. Optiplex desktop and Latitude notebooks come with 3 years on-site NBD support and US based phone support. None of this 90 days, 1 year crap and you don't have to visit a retail store when your battery expands or you case cracks/discolors (well for Dell, it would only be the batteries, heh!)

Dell Outlet is the best way go - full warranty and super cheap.
