I dont't have any contacts in this area, but Vobis, the biggest vendor of 
PCs in Germany tried to bundle OS/2 with its PC about two years ago, but was 
set under pressure by Mirosoft and had to bundle with Windows again. 
So we shouldn't put too much hope in a large company bundling PCs with 
Linux.
Anyway, first of all we need a stable and easy-to-use Linux if we want 
any vendor to bundle it with its PCs, and then we can think about going 
to dealers and talk to them.
