GNewSense

Hi, I'd like Dell to sell a desktop and a laptop with the GNU/Linux
distribution GNewSense preinstalled, which works perfectly without
requiring any extra software. That's because GNewSense is 100% free (as
in freedom) software, so its users have the freedom to copy and modify
it (see http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html). It's also very user
friendly, as it's based on Ubuntu.
I'm hoping that Dell's way of "supporting" GNU/Linux won't be to add
proprietary drivers to get it to work with their hardware, because that
would defeat the point of using it for people who do so primarily
because it respects their freedom.
Thanks,
Guy
