This isn't true for Compaq - they sell preloaded Linux systems.
Please check the following URL:

http://www.compaq.com/products/workstations/software-platform/osmatrix.html

They ALSO have at least one Intel-based system running FreeBSD
in their testdrive center (although they do NOT sell preloaded
FreeBSD systems)

There is also the ida driver which supports the Compaq SmartRaid
controllers.
