I ordered a DELL Dimension E521 + Red Flag Linux 5.0 suite (Simplified Chinese version, availabe at China mainland) with 512M memory last November for my second home PC. Though the OS was not pre-installed, it was easy to accomplish this task since I've been using Linux desktop at my office on my DIYed PC for about one year. In fact, nowadays, most of the Linux distributions are easier to install than Windows, and, in most cases, Linux drives your hardwares correctly. The OS is very stable and virus-free. It meets all my needs (Open Office for word, spreadsheet, presentation work, Kaffeine for all the audio and vedio files, Java programming, ...). I like it and have suggested my friends to ordering DELL+Linux when they want to buy a new PC or update their old PCs. Hope DELL will provide different choices in the near future for the pre-installed Linux PCs, such as Fedora Core, Ubuntu, Suse, Debian, Red Flag, etc. This strategy will benifit both DELL and the Open Source Community greatly. I'm sure, the day will come when Linux is as important as Windows.
