How to get a Windows free machine from Dell
,----[ Quote ]
| Hidden out of view and out of reach, you need to get an assistant
| to help pick one off the shelf for you. They're called the N-Series
| and they're sold without operating systems preloaded - meaning
| they're cheaper. So the question is how do you actually get one?
|
| 1. Email Dell outlining your intentions
| Sending an email explaining that you want a machine without Windows
| seemed to be sufficient for the correct person to get back to you.

Linux: Driver Support is Key
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell recognizes the importance of open source, GPL-licensed drivers
| which are maintained upstream in kernel.org. They allow users the
| widest choice of Linux distributions, effectively taking the
| specific hardware and distribution out of the decision-making
| process and let you focus on solving your business problems. We
| will work with our hardware partners to develop, test, and
| maintain Free drivers, and continue to make progress towards
| that goal for all drivers.

Dell to Expand Linux Factory Installed Options
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell has heard you and we will expand our Linux support beyond our
| existing servers and Precision workstation line. Our first step in
| this effort is offering Linux pre-installed on select desktop and
| notebook systems. We will provide an update in the coming weeks
| that includes detailed information on which systems we will
| offer, our testing and certification efforts, and the Linux
| distribution(s) that will be available. The countdown begins today.
