If you really want Linux pre-installed on a Dell and are willing to buy
a server-class machine:
http://www.dell.com/us/en/biz/topics/linux_linuxhome.htm
Perhaps a business-class HP? (Didn't they merge with Compaq?)

Or if it's okay that it comes with no OS and Linux works well on it:

Note that the modem problem has been solved:

If you find a small vendor selling systems preinstalled with Linux, you
can cross-check them at <http://www.resellerratings.com> and see what
other people think of them.
I'm pretty much out of ideas at this point. Help any?
