[Ma-linux] Latest on Dell and Linux

[Kevin Chin]

As far as I know they're still in biz.

Also for anyone into SLED (and since we're talking generally about who's
pre-loading Linux these days) I created a blog entry to highlight those that
pre-load SLED.  I hope to see the list grow over time...

Is there a list for the other distros... openSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc.?  If
not, there should be.

TTYL.
