Here are a couple of websites with community based ratings/comments on vendor friendliness to FOSS. It might be worth it if you are a real believer of supporting FOSS to make purchases only from companies that are FOSS friendly, especially if you work for a company that is making large hardware purchases and you have any influence over what is to be purchased.

There is an wiki containing a list of computer hardware vendors with positive and negative criticism about how they stand ethically, environmentally, juridically, against competition, open standards, open source, device drivers, Linux, FOSS, etc.
