I just had to order a bit of stuff from Dell for the end of our fiscal year. The premier site is IE only. Can't use linux to order linux. Pricing can be bizarre. The site is not very intuitive at all. It does a good job of reflecting the [one hand doesn't know what the other is doing] nature of a big company. I read the Dell sponsored, community based Dell desktop Linux list. Mostly deals with the Mini 9 and 15, and the Latitude 1420. Much of the noise on the list lately involves complaints of Dell backing off support for Linux, and the Dell/Canonical repos being outdated. Almost a bad thing for Linux as Windows users see that a reputable company is supporting Linux and buy one, only to be disappointed with the support, blame Linux, and go back to Windows. Attachment:
