So which Linux versions is Dell pre-installing on which consumer desktop
models?

If Dell offered I would buy a desktop PC with Ubuntu or Fedora (or similar)
pre-installed. Or even if not preinstalled, but at least "certified" for one
of these distributions.

If not "certified" then what's the point? Instead just build a whitebox with
quality components.

I don't want a desktop PC certified for SUSE Linux or anything else with
Novell's name on it.

HP was putting linux on their workstations long before Dell.
Where you don't typically find linux is on the "desktop" models.
