Debian Rocks!
read:The first project I would like to talk about is OpenOEM, which aims to build and sell a line of computers consisting entirely of “Open Hardware” - that is, hardware whose documentation is under an Open Source licence, allowing the public to attempt to build upon its specifications and build their own version of the hardware, if they wish. In their own words:
Mission Statement :To build the best Open Computer that combines power, simplicity and elegance by creating new Open Source Hardware and Software or by leveraging existing Open Source Technologies.

i understand from these that PC's that contains h/w components whose drivers are open sourced or may be GPLed not necessarily the hardware.
