Workstations, possibly. The prices quoted in the article were in dollars, not pounds, which suggests they're to be available in the US at least. If the article were referring to UK or European availability, the prices would likely have been given in pounds or euros. > > Part of the reason comes down to the choice of distribution.

Which kernals? etc. etc. The article specifies Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation 4 as the distro for these machines, with three year onsite support plus a year's access to Red Hat Network. It also mentions that Dell has a linux support site for their systems (linux.dell.com).
