I love my Dell E1505N and the pre-installed Ubuntu Linux works great. I'm interested in upgrading / acquiring some new peripherals but it can be confusing determining which manufacturers and models inter-operate well with Ubuntu and Linux in general. It would be wonderful if Dell would provide a place to shop for Ubuntu certified accessories such as printers, cameras and MP3 players.
Customers purchasing such items from the Dell Open site would know that they either included the necessary software to integrate well or were already well supported by the OS. This would not even need to be an especially large selection of items - perhaps a low end and high end entry from each category. Having the assurance that my new printer, print server or MP3 player would integrate well with my new Ubuntu based laptop would allow me to stop researching and finally buy some new peripherals.
