Well, if you read the article I referenced in my original post, you would see that VA has launched a strategy to sell servers with software pre-installed and pre-configured for specific types of uses. My suggestion to go after VA was in direct response to their announcement. If other Linux hardware vendors have similar programs then by all means, we should go after them too. This isn't about picking the ideal hardware company and getting into bed with them. It's about piggybacking on a specific business initiative that happened to be announced by one particular vendor.
