What?

Dell has been selling Ubuntu on its servers for years.

It tried to sell Ubuntu desktops, but Homer wouldn't buy the one he said
he would buy, and Dell apparently discontinued them.

An nvidia based Zino would hit the spot as would have a similarly
equipped Studio Mini. Since such a beast never existed, I never bought
one. There are boxes from lesser known Linux vendors that fit the bill
and I've actually bought from them (as opposed to Dell).

Linux users are not like religious Mac users or Lemmings like you. We're
not going to buy something just because a certain label has been slapped on it.
