This is stupid ... You don't know where the disk will be installed, and so if you don't support well the hardware you will just panic ... Bad reputation for linux. This kind of alliance should be made with computers suppliers ( HP, Dell, IBM, Acer, Shuttle ) or with supermaket. The support is well defined and tested and so you don't have problem and you can have support.
