A lot of the bigger companies like Dell, HP, and IBM sell Linux servers but are not in the market for selling home machines with Linux installed and I don't want to have to pay for Windows XP if I don't have too.

She told me no for both questions after she told me that she had never had that question asked before.  I know Dell and Redhat have a partnership for their servers but I don't understand why they won't sell something that customers want.
