I assume you want a desktop computer? Dell has great hardware support for debian/ubuntu and RH/Cent OS. I (think) you can purchase a desktop without an OS from their SMB store. Definitely get something with a spinning platter and pop in your own SSD. It will save you a lot of money.Why not build your own desktop? If you want to get the best deal and guaranteed hardware support, read some component reviews on http://www.phoronix.com/ and put it together yourself. Good luck!

Yep, a desktop. Thanks for the link to component reviews! I haven't had any luck finding Dell boxes online without an OS, though...
