Dell are somewhat better than Gateway - at least they acknowledge the
existance of Linux - Gateway don't give a rat's arse about anything but M$.

An expensive, but much better, way to go.
After my problems trying to get a Gateway notebook sans Evilware, I've
decided that I will NOT buy one unless they company offers it with a full
suite of Linux drivers - not necessarily Linux pre-installed, although that
would serve as reasonable proof of their committment to the OS.
As for desktops, I'll build my own.....
