Ubuntu is free.
But the dummwitt support Dell will have to give the Ubuntu Users that buy that system is not free. Not talking of the drivers they will have to get out (because ubuntu is crap at best for most systems. Compatibility is far worse than with Mandriva One and other distributions and that on all of my 3 systems. One is an IBM tablet, one a Compal EL80 *intel reference notebook for Core Duo!* and the other a self built desktop with wireless card and a few other things).
Thats something you won't have access to as "free installer" ...
