Hi All

I ordered a Dell laptop with Linux pre installed over a month ago and just
had a call to say they have put the delivery date back again (I know two
people who have ordered and received a laptop in that time from them, but
they had vista rather than Linux.

Needless to say I'm getting rather pissed off with them, could anybody
recommend a company that sells laptops with Linux on here in the UK so I
can cancel the dell order and actually get the thing delivered.

I'm looking to spend £500 - £600 give or take.

Fedora is my distro of choice BTW.

I believe they may have some available with 'free-dos' instead - have you
tried that? Should be easy enough to install your own.
