Dell does already ship a laptop with Ubuntu installed. No I don't think Best Buy and Walmart carry it, because the only target market for it is developers. I remember seeing lots of cheap netbooks that had a Linux option but no stores carried them because nobody besides developers and geeks actually wants that.

Dell arguably did more damage: by releasing a flawed product, then the rest of the OEMs said "See? No one wants linux".
