I tend to disgree as
  http://dot.kde.org/content/contact-dot-editors 
says it is generally unsuitable to run
  "Advertising or a press release for your company or organization."

It is possible to write stories about companies, organisations and their 
products which are journalistic articles or a KDE marketing article.

In this case I recommend to write a KDE markteting article about this new 
offering for KDE preinstalled computers. It should be done by someone 
associated with KDE and not by the company itself.

I haven't checked out the website yet, but if you are involved with KDE a lot 
it would be cool to link to theses archievement which will allow you to make 
the claim that you and your company are long time members of this great 
community called KDE. 

Best Regards,
Bernhard
