I've got an old PC that needs to be replaced.
The last linux distribution that I installed on
it was Debian. I've been happy with the results,
but it took me a long time to get it installed and
working to my satisfaction. I'd like to avoid having
to do that much work again.
Are there any PC's that come with both microsoft and
linux already installed? Any recomendations, or comments
(either negative or positive)?

There's a company called system76 http://system76.com/
That sell Ubuntu preinstalled machines..
They have one laptop (I think it's called serval performance) that is based
on the Compal JFL 92..
Compal JFL 92 seems to be a good laptop which comes without the "Microsoft
Tax" on laptops.. I'm planning to buy it, though in my case, from
powernotebooks.com, without any OS installed, and run OpenSUSE on it
(sometime towards late August)..
Then http://www.dell.com/ubuntu
and also, Thinkpads have linux preinstalled variant too..
But both of these don't seem to have versions with built in webcam.
As for boxes preinstalled with both windows and linux, I've never seen a
case.. buy windows and do dual boot, or forget windows altogether..
