Today Dell unveiled its computers that will be pre-loaded with Ubuntu [1]
and I must say that I'm very impressed with Dell's interaction with the
community thus far.

There is a Dell wiki [2] set up to provide information about how the systems
are configured, what changes Dell has made to the default installation, what
Linux drivers are available (or not) to support the various pieces of
hardware Dell sells, and details regarding whether or not a driver is free
(libre) software. Furthermore, Dell is tracking its Ubuntu bugs via
Launchpad. Kudos to Dell.
