Did I miss something? I'd heard gossip about Dell selling computers with Linux, but I didn't think anyone took it seriously. Are they actually doing it?

You missed the second link in the first paragraph of the article. More specifically, this part:

Dell has heard you and we will expand our Linux support beyond our existing servers and Precision workstation line. Our first step in this effort is offering Linux pre-installed on select desktop and notebook systems. We will provide an update in the coming weeks that includes detailed information on which systems we will offer, our testing and certification efforts, and the Linux distribution(s) that will be available. The countdown begins today.
