we (HP) do this with Workstations, Business PCs and Laptops. You just
should consult the vendors website (in our case www.hp.com/linux) to
see if the system is supported (means working with Linux).
Of course this isn't valid for every vendor :(. I would also like that
to be seen at all these third-party vendors for cd-burners, tv-cards and
the like. But it's a long road to get there.

This leaves you right now (if you really wanna be sure about that) to
pre-installed systems or certified ones.
