Actually the website says: " Dell does not officially support running
Linux on Dell laptops, Although, as there are relatively fewer gotchas
associated with Linux running on desktops as compared to laptops,
installing Linux should be a fairly straight-forward task." 

If you quote, quote the whole thought.

 From the site:

" Dell does not officially support running Linux on Dell desktops."

Try again -- this didn't meet my criteria and thus would not be 
available for an average user.  No warranty and no support turns this 
into a no-go for Ma and Pa Kettle.
