That makes no sense. If that were the case then Dell et al wouldn't be
selling systems with Ubuntu. Perhaps you need to explore the Ubuntu
Partner program:

How do I know if the Programme is for me ?

    * Is your business one that manufacturers or builds desktop PCs,
laptops or servers and you want to provide Ubuntu as a part of your
offering ?

System Builders

Many people require their systems to be pre-built and include Ubuntu
preloaded on desktops, servers and even thin client solutions. You can
purchase systems directly or indirectly from Canonical System Builder
Partners and they will be happy to help you with any detail or
specification question you may have.

If you want to purchase systems preloaded with Ubuntu, and supported by
our partners, this is where you should look. Many will ship globally,
even though they may only be based in one country.
