I don't think that comment about Dell not carring about linux is true:

I have been associated with an organization that only buys Dell
machines for many years. And our department loads Linux on all our
machines. I have three Dell machines running Linux at home.
Did you manage to buy a Dell machine without a Microsoft OS
installed & paid for? If so How?
IIRC, you can get some of the dell *servers* with linux. if you're
buying a regular desktop or notebook, you *can* get your choice of
operating system, as long as it's windows.
As Henry Ford said about the model T. You can get it in any color you
want as long as it is black. LOL
Not true.
I've ordered machines (desktop) without Windows installed on them. They're
even a bit cheaper.
I had to go to Executive Escalations to get it done, however.
