And you won't find it advertised but its there. Rumor has it that part 
of the deal that Dell has with Microsoft is that they must sell their 
machines with an operating system (although not necessarily Windows) and 
they cannot advertise any other operating system other than windows.

So the "N-series" is Dell's machines that are sold without any other OS 
but FreeDOS. The URL is

There is an entry on wikipedia about them as well.
