I'm still not sure Dell reall "gets" Linux on any level: server, desktop, netbook, whatever. They support it sort of half-heartedly because of customer demand and they don't do it terribly well. Still, better than nothing, which is what most manufacturers offer to Linux users.

FWIW, Dell announced they are shutting down their manufacturing facility here in North Carolina and laying off 905 people. Dell isn't terribly popular around here right now.
