^^^^^^^^^^If Red Hat could provide enough dollars to Dell to provide the needed customer support it would start shipping today.^^^^^^^^^

Red Hat probably doesn't need to do such a thing.

Linux, like Mac os, doesn't break very often. And Dell probably isn't going to want to ship two identically equipped(hardware wise) machines at different price points.

Dell could recoup those support dollars through the reduced cost of the OS itself.

Obviously you still don't have even the foggiest clue as to how the industry actually works. Maybe not anything from what we've seen, thanks though for being such a great example of linux lunacy.
