OK - put your money where your mouth is. Pretend I'm a consumer. I have 2000 USD to spend and want a good PC with a good warranty with GNU/Linux on it. Find me a link to a major OEM that will ship me a PC within those specs with decent hardware and a generally recognized name (Dell, Gateway, HP, IBM...).
The PC must be listed as a desktop system and must be easy to find.

That's your assignment. That's the way that you can prove your point, and it's the only way. If the situation is as you claim it is, that should take you no less than 3 minutes. The clock is ticking...


Took me all of about 30 seconds...

From the site:

" Dell does not officially support running Linux on Dell desktops."

Try again -- this didn't meet my criteria and thus would not be available for an average user. No warranty and no support turns this into a no-go for Ma and Pa Kettle.
