Sorry, Dude
Ever try to buy a Linux pc from Dell? Not a server, or their "it costs more than a loaded Mac G5" precision workstation. Can't be done. Which is how I ended up buying my first Mac.

And when I wanted a portable music device I bought an iPod, the same as most people. The problem with the Dell DJ is that, at best, it's everyone's second choice.

Maybe if they supported Linux on the lower end, they could attract buyers for other items in their lineup.
