I remember when Dell first sold Ubuntu loaded laptops.  At that time, it
seemed that reason the Linux ones were more expensive was because they had
slightly different specs, such as an Intel wireless card, which was working
with Linux, whereas the Windows machines would have a Broadcom card, which,
at the time, was often problematic.
