I disagree. I know a whole crowd of people using Linux. And I can assure You, 
99.9% of nVidia or ATI card users use proprietary drivers on their Linux 
systems (they just want to have acceleration on their accelerated cards, they 
have paid for this feature, didn't they?).
So basically, they'd prefer Dell + preinstalled Linux + preinstalled drivers. 
It is important especially for newbies, that often have problems with 
installing/configuring this stuff by themselves.
