OEMs in this sense are original equipment manufacturers -- vendors of pre-built computer hardware systems -- complete PCs and servers, not to be confused with hardware manufacturers. Often referred to colloquially as "white box" vendors, OEMs include a range of PC makers, from one-man garage PC shops to customization-friendly Web stores to high-volume business suppliers.
Using the OEM installation option, computer resellers can pre-install and verify Ubuntu on machines slated for sale or redistribution, but leave select configuration details, locale and language preferences, and user account creation to the retail purchaser.
