Did Dell drop the Linux PC?

UPDATE: 10th Dec 2007: Dell just contacted me and have fixed the 404 - you can now buy Ubuntu PC’s online from Dell UK again. :)
Just tried to order a linux PC from Dell, but I’m getting a 404 when I try to purchase.
I start at:
Dell.co.uk > Desktops > Ubuntu Linux
But when click on “Customise and Buy” I get a 404:

I thought it would be good to get a linux machine to help with general sys admin work and generally get to grips with working in a linux only environment.
However, it appears I don’t have the option of getting one pre-installed.
Did Dell drop the linux ready PC already?
